NAPOLEON.

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 that
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. '-.

" -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 118,060,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.
