Boulanger and the French.
LONDON, Oct. 6-Gen. Boulanger has an
nounced that he will return to Paris, and
that there are 6O00 letters asking audiences
with him awaiting his coming. OF these, he
says, half are serious enough 10 require i'm
mediate attention. M. Goblet's recent speech
in which he expressed the fear felt by the
government at the spread of Boulangism In
France, has given the adherents OF the Gen.

which they have hitherto given him, there
appears to be no reason that this generous
prediction should not be verified.

notifications Of the decree now expected are
the extension OF the preparatory time to an
other month, in order to enable Americans
and others to obtain certificates of their
birth and other documents which are needed
to fulfill the conditions of the decree, and
probably an instruction to mayors not to rig
idly enforce the decree in cases of the we'll
standing, but to accept their simple declala-
tlon on all the points. If this is done, the
annoyance to persons who have lived in
France long time. will be much modified
One effect Of the decree has been rush of
Parlsian tradesmen to present their bills to
foreigners, as they fear a sudden departure
OF many who may object to the new measure.
