LONDON, September 13.-The Comte dt
Paris was seen in the city last evening, anC
in reply to questions concerning his recen
interview in the papers and what he had tc
say regarding his completely with Bou
LANCER he stated: "I am entirely Indifferent
to what the newspapers may say of me Of
whether it be in the form of condemna-
tion or adulation. Either is equally dis.
tasteful, You can say this Is coming from
me-that can consider myself justified in
using any means that may be in my power
or 1 can command to break mp the
Republic. 1t is an unnatural form of Gov
| eminent, and France has never prospered
under it, and never will. Her true position
is that of leading monarchy, where the
ceremony that should surround Govern
ments and rulers can be observed, aud where
the stability of the nation is not dependent
on the office-holding combines to insure re-
election, and the would-be Office holder who

to get the other ones out. The Republic has
treated me with disrespect. 1t can ask no
more than a return in kind. If care to
make use Of a Boulanger or any other in
strument to secure my rights in a country
that 1 love, and whose people want me,
cannot see why the French press or any other
press should make it subject of comment.
General Boulanger was seen later and at
first seemed reluctant to speak upon any
subject, least of all that touching the recent
unpleasant disclosures. Finally, the Gen
eral, evidently annoyed in his mind by the
incidents of the past fortnight, very warmly
said: Il don't consider it any relaxation of
dignity to admit my chagrin at the perfdy
ana utter want of honor displayed by those
who have been proud heretofore to call
themselves my followers, Despite these de-
sertions from me. my star is as bright as it
ever has been, and 1 may, perhaps, be rather
pleased than otherwise to be rid of those
who are morally capable of playing the
traitor, and might do so at time when it
would be rather more inconvenient and Sc
rious for me than it is at present"
NO HOPE FOR BoULANGER.
Notwithstanding these brave words of
General Boulanger's it is thought by the
public that his hopes for future are
blasted. His only reliance for some time
has been war between France and some
other power, when he hoped to be called
back to take command of the army.
Henri Rochefort was seen at the French
Cafe and was perfectly willing, as he al
ways is, to talk.

let come what may, shall make the best

ready to fight any or everybody who dares
to suggest or hint or otherwise express any
idea that 1 have profted pecuniarily by
this movement. The fact is I have been
humbugged, but it is ended now, and I
shall settle down and keep my counsels to
myself. You can say. too, that I have no
further use for Boulanger."
STRONG LANGUAGE.
The most astonishing language, however,
is used by M. Mermieux, the Par
isian journalist who when seen
at the Office of the Figaro, said:
"Yes, am somewhat happy over the row
have been the cause of raising, but yet 1
think have only done my duty, as it's the
duty of every newspaper man to learn all he
can and tell it as quickly as he can get it
into print. My opinion of Boulanger is
that he is fraud, and the Comte de Paris
was using him merely as a catspaw for the
throne. The Comte is the shrewd one, the
General is either blind or scamp. 1 have
no hesitancy in saying that I Joined the
Boulangists only to make good story for
