FT. MONROE, March 29.
The steamer Suwanee has arrived from Newbern. Burnside has taken possession of Beaufort. There was no show of resistance by the rebels and no property was burned. Fort Macon is still occupied by about 500 rebels, but they were entirely cut off from all communication with their friends and must soon surrender.
