~ the High Court into which the Senate has

Rocbefort and Count Dillon by default.
The whole drift Of the speech of the ProcuratOr-
General is to bring General BOulanger's new and
aristocra.:c friends in London to drop him, and
20 render him odious and ridiculous in the eyes
NJ universal suffrage in this country. That law
officer is novelist OF some talent. All the gossip
that he has brought with his long speech i'll
support of the Indictment shows that he belongs
70 this age Of Society journalism lie docs
not attempt seriously to prove the alleged plot
of General Bouanger against the safety of tha
Republic but rather TO show that he is the
friend Of cozenS, cheats and swindlers, and III
short a man with whom no self-pspecting person
There is deal of private inquiry scandal brought
into the speech, and with no small degree OF
bitterness of feeling.
The Procurator OF the Republic has the dis
advantages of n provincial accent and manner
in entering the court yesterday he wore his
pork pie" cap. His cOuntenance has no breadth

The lines are angular, and the nose falling III

ferreting into the hidden sides of human nature
One saw in the vague, imaginative expression

Imagination have full play i'll evoking and COM

Eyes would have redeemed the physognomy were

The red robe turned back with erlnIne
Duval, sat on the right and left Of the ProcuratOr
OF the Republic. There were piles of paper which
he constantly manipulated before the latter, and
other piles before the PrcSitcnt of tic High Court
NJ. Lecoyer.
The latter opened the proceedings
by making call of 299 Senator'S
one member of the Senate having
Just died. Twenty-Five did not answer. NJ
Naquet, the single Boulangst, had his arm in a
sling. He is hunchbaclled. The stock of Jet
black hair and a beard that used TO match have
greatly whitened, and the face has aged and taken
Shylock expression. All his former colleagues
stunned him, and no member Of the Right made
up TO him. The Procurator OF the Republic was
the roll being called, given leave TO speak. Gen
era Saussier, the Governor of Paris, insisted on
giving evidence before the investigating committee
of the High Court that there was sort of proof
Of attempts being made TO subOrn officers or
soldiers or to overthrow the Republic. But this
did not satisfy the PrOcuratOr, who went back 10
1882 so show the genesis Of Boulangism. We
were shown General Boulanger in 1882, when in
command of the Tuns army corps, recruiting a
staff of rogucs and releasing jail-birds of both
sexes. The unfortunate women who enlisted
in the gang were mistresses of Boulanger, who
went TO see one of them in prison, gave her $4,000
and set her up with table and bed linen Of his
cwn. The police found in her linen presses sheets
and tablecloths marked with the letter Il over
TWO Gags with their slaves crossed and the three
stars Of divisional general. She was at once a
Bismarc1an and Boulangst agent at Berlin. A
Madame Mellon, the mistress Of NJ. \. Mondion
THE Maurel7 who lately furnished revelations
shout Bismarck and Belgium TO Madame Adam
review, another member Of the gang.
Madame Mellon had been five years in jail. 1t
was NJ. Mondion who gave General Boulanger Il
receipt on the day he left Office for 1000 francs,
paid out of the secret service fund. lie recently
went TO London, where, the ProcuratOr insnuated,
the receipt was given and antedated. The other
agents were one Cattorre an old jail-bird; one
Peck an ex-captain, who was at the military
college OF ST. Cyr with BOulanger; eX-oflicer 10
General Zamin who has lived at the expense Of
q woman of the town and one Francois, alias
the Marquis d'EpcrnOn and Count de Buray, a
swindler. A professional bully completed the col
lection. This gang were engaged TO write and cir
culate biographies and portraits. OF the latter
there were forty-four different kinds. Peek was
the biographer. This person condemned for
year on denunciationS which had TO be gone into
by the tribunal with closed doors. As 10 Count
Dillon he was bird of the same feather, aud no
count at all. He invented his title when he
wanted 10 get into fine society. Being without
means and having expensive tastes, he lived as an
adventurer on his wits, and consented 10 marry a
woman who had two natural children and wanted
somebody TO give them legal status lie had
lived at the cost of this woman, professional
singer at Bordeaux
Such was the burden of the Public Prosecutors
portraiture of lie brav General and his asso-
ciates. &c.
