FORT MONROE, March 6.
The steamer Mt. Vernon arrived here yesterday. The Fernandina was still there, and the sloop of war Jamestown was blockading New Inlet. The State of Georgia, Gemsbok and Albatross were at Beaufort.
The Mt. Vernon has not received a mail for forty days. She took a prize on Friday last, the British Queen, which was attempting to run the blockade. She was sent with a prize crew to Philadelphia. The crew of the captured schooner were brought here by the Mt. Vernon.
The Constitution sailed to-day.
