The Federal at Natchez.
--The Federal, with five gunboats, reached Natchez on Monday afternoon, and anchored out in the river.
A number of men came ashore in a small boat, bringing with them a letter to Mayor Hunter, demanding a surrender of the city.
Upon stepping ashore, they found quite a crowd awaiting them, but none who would take the letter or direct them to the Mayor.
Finally, it is said, they prevailed upon a fisherman to take it, but he had not proceeded for before several of the citizens seized and conveyed him to a large free not far distant, where he was left to "dance a jigultwixt heaven and earth" But by some means or other the Federal soon got the letter to Mayor Hunters who refused to surrender.
The enemy then gave him until ten o'clock yesterday morning to decide, when they would land a force and occupy it, if not surrendered.
Late last night it had not been surrendered, her had the enemy landed a force.
The fleet was still anchored out in the liver.--Vicks
