PARIS, April 29.-The B%oulanRist leaders
have conceived q daring scheme.
They propose that Gen. Boulanger shall
quietly return to France, reappear in Paris
on the LIST OF May and place himself at the
head OF the labor forces.
NJ. M. Laguerre and Magnet. the trusty
lieutenants and most influential advisers OF
the General, have zone to Jersey to acquaint
him with their plan and induce him to con.
sent to IL.
They will ask HIM to put himself into the
hands OF the leaders of the Parti National
and trust the people Of Paris for q successful
result.
Gen. B%oulanger has long been waiting
for an opportunity for a coup and the May
day celebration seemed to afford it; but the
premature publication Of the plan is likely
10 defeat it.
