LYONS, JAN. 6.—The free corps is organizing with much activity. The enemy's column which 'had advanced to Annecy, and which appeared to threaten Chambery, has suddenly retrograded. It -is even asserted that it has left Geneve, and tha t it has returned to the country of Vaud. Accord-. ing to other reports, it should have left at Ge neve 6,00 men. This retrograde movement is at tribute(' to the - intelligence of ale near arrival of a French corps,9i.4QXo men. '-. VEs6I)L,, JAN. I: 7 —The fullo\ving is an extract from a privateletter " -Wrede's. head-quarters are at Boltzheim, a and„a quarter frqfh_Huningtien. The ene- my has bombarded that place since Dec. 29.. He has six_ mortars on his batteries. Hitherto he has fired without. any effect. The .mists have, how ever., favoured his works. lie has brought - up some pieces of heavy calibre from his• grand park, which is estoAished at Schlienger, upon the right bank. it is said that he has in this ' park some of Congteve's rockets,---you see with what - a generous- enemy we have to do. Cannot our chemists, who, are so skil ful, invent some. composition of this kind ? The invention of all these infernal machines is un doubtedly a- great misfortune to humanity ; but it is theenethy who has set us the example, and we must fight on equal terths. We pique onrselves upon a,generosity which has frequently proved fatal to us ; itis time we should :use reprisals, and that we should - treat without - pity an .enemy without good ,faith. Time garrison of Huninguen . has already made three. sorties .with success, and ap•pears fully determined to hold out. 'rime heavy pieces from the cwjatiers of the fortress make a mnr- derous fire upon the enemy's bridge, and much 'incommodes tlie, passage of his troops and his Convoys ; but PI Rice Scliwartzevberg; furious that the Commandant of Huningtien should have ilia audacity to fire upon those who' alz: coming to be siege him, scut him a trumpeter, charged to de clare to him, that if he still determined to fire a single cannon upon the.bridge, he would cause at the same instant a hundred French villages to he Set on fire. Here is an act to add to the pi oofs of moderation which the enemy gives ercry d'ay. From•tbe side of Mulhausen there are about 4000 infantry' who incessantly pass and repass, to have it thought they are more ninnerous ; they keep to the' ridge of vineyards - xvllich border the plain, and riisc intrenannents on the side of Hab . sheiru. "The head-quarters of ,the Allies before Be fort, are at Bessoneourt.. It is Gen. Rechberg who commands the blockade. Count de Lich tenberg was on. the 26th at Serniamagny, with 400 cavalry. Ile has pushed forward posts upon the read of 'Lure and:Besancon. It is thought that the whole of this I .lavarian corps does not ex eeca 1 18,060,men, the greater part of t3 : l4icil is upon the roads of, Delle and Montbeliarc). Up to the 29th Of December they had_besieged Befort, but with 4,6, and 12-pounders ; they every day an nounce that their heavy artillery was going to ar rive. 'his small citadel makes an adfuirahlc re sistance ; the artillery has .. hitherto been very suc cessfully pointed ; it is directed by an old officer of Befoft, almost 80, and a mason of that town, who. fires in an astonishing manner. The first shOt from the fort carried off an enemy's General with his Horse, and another indivdival who had arrived near the plaCe to reconnoitre it. '! The Commandant, whose name I do not know, is a determined man, and pia resolved to hold out to the last extremity. " It is the #ustrian division of Fremont which appears, destined to snppott the Bavarian division. The enemy has established a new bridge of boats in front of Newdorf. It is by that. way the 'two regiments of Baden and \Virtemberg have come. FRENCH F6ND3.—Jar... 9, 50 1. 50 c. DUTCH PAPERS.
