NAVAL ENGAGEMENT. .YEW-YORK, Feb. 25. Capt am Olcot, who arrived here yesterday from Havana, in the ship Fox. states that on the 4th in st. a Patriot brig appeared off Havana, when a Spanish sloop ot war went out to capture her, an engagement took place in sight of the town, which lasted about two hours. When the smoke cleared awav the Patriot brig was seen going off in company with the sloop of war, and as the latter vessel had not returned to port when capt. Olcot sailed, four days afterwards, there was no doubt she had been captured by the brig.

From the Baltimore Federal Republican, Mirch 1st. Captain Reardon of the brig pry, arrived last evening from Rio Janeiro, reports, that accounts were received overland from Valparaiso, that the Spanish expedition some time expected, on making their appearance, were decoved into the port by keeping the royal flag fl. -ing on the fortifications in possession of the Patriots ; they consisted of one 50 gun ship, two sloops of war, and 7 transports, with a number of troops, all of whom fell an easy prey to the Patriots. It was understood at Rio, that the whole country surrounding Monte VidCQi was in possession of Gen. Artieas. A Mathematical T.ast.
