Explanation / Answer

The anode reaction
Cu^+ (aq) -------------> Cu^2+ (aq) + e^-      oxidation half cell reaction
The cathode reaction
Cl2(g) + 2e^- -------------> 2Cl^- (aq)   reduction half cell reaction


2Cu^+ (aq) -------------> 2Cu^2+ (aq) + 2e^-
Cl2(g) + 2e^- -------------> 2Cl^- (aq)
-----------------------------------------------
2Cu^+ (aq) + Cl2(g) ---------> 2Cu^2+ (aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) net reaction

in the external circute electron migrate from Cu^+/Cu^2+ electrode to the Cl^-/Cl2
in the salt bridge anions migrate to the Cl^-/Cl2 compartment from the Cu^+/Cu^2+ compartment.
