MT LORD—The cavalry of the reserve have passed
Freyburg. To-morrow the two divisions of the Rus-

They will be followed by the reserve artillery, and
by other troops. •
The Emperor of Russia's headquarters will move
with the guards, but his Imperial Majesty will go by
Schaffhausen, and meet this force assembled
near Basle on the 31st December (12th January),

Head-quariers, Altkireh, January 4.
'Yesterday Captain Baron Welitmer arrived with
dispatches from Field Marshal Lieutenant Count
Babes. announcing the occupation of the city of
'Geneva.
When the troops arrived within cannon-shot, Count
Bubna was informed that it was intended to Barren-
" dirithe place.
- The columns were nevertheless supplied with ar-
tillery, ladders, 'and fascinet, and- advanced within
grape-shot of the-place, when they saw *the white
Vag, and at the same time the enemy's cavalryretiring
towards Chambery. Major Count St. Quintin, who
had been sent into the town, reported, that the Com-
mandant, Qener4 Jordis; a worthy old officer, was
lying ill of violent cramps, surrouaded by his Staff.
and in such a state as to be unable eitber.4o resist or
to capitulate.
The gates wire opened, and the temps marched in.
and occupied the.town and the passage over the Arve.
On the 40th December, fifty artillerymen had ar-
rived, and there was a report that several battalions
had marched from Tulin to reinforce the garrison of
Geneva, and that General Fournier was ordered, by
the Emperor Napoleon, to defend this most important
point to the last extremity.
In this fortress was found a very valuable artillery
preparation, one hundred and seventeen cannon (of
which nineteen aft iron ordnance), and thirty French
field-pieces.
Count Bubna lost nn time in detaching parties on
thiroad from Gex to St. Claude, to secure the pas-
sage over the Jura, and also patroles from Martigny
upon Simplon and Sr. Bernhard's mountains.
