FORT MONROE, March 31 [1862].

All quite here to-day.  Capt. Seaver, of the aeronautic department, makes a balloon reconnoisance this P. M., the first made here since last summer.

A boat containing five well known secessionists was captured on the James river, above Newport News, yesterday, transporting produce and stores for the rebel army.
