If the French general's necessities were urgent, the English admiral's desire to get possession of Genoa, ere Buonaparte could make further progress, was not less vehement.

Lord Keith frankly told Massena, that his gallantry had been such that no terms could be too good for him.

The word _capitulation_ Was omitted: the French marched out of the town with arms and baggage, and were allowed to proceed to Suchet's headquarters; and, on the 5th of June, Ott occupied Genoa.
General Ott, notwithstanding this success, had been very ill-employed in lingering before Genoa while Napoleon was so rapidly advancing; and Melas, utterly perplexed between Suchet on the one side and the Consul on the other, had in fact lain still, and done nothing.

Buonaparte, between the 1st and 4th of June, crossed the Ticino with his whole army.

Lannes, after various conflicts, occupied Pavia.
