Paris, ApriU. General Boulanger in his mani- ; festoj from Brussels, whither he secretly fled, says the Government attempted to coerce the Public Prosecutor to'indict him before an unique tribunal under an unique law. He flatly refused to submit himself to the jurisdiction, of a Senate, which, he alleges, is well aware of its unpopularity. He considers the duty all Frenchmen owe to their suffrages prohibits him from recognising an attempt to suppress the liberties .of the people and tamper with the laws of the country. He accuses the present political parties of widespread corruption, of opposing the manifest wishes of the country, and of crushing its prosperity. 11. Laguerre, one of the Deputies who submitted himself for trial yesterday, gravely announces that the Government proposed to execute General Boulanger. It is believed that the Government will proceed in Boulanger's absence to secure a conviction, which will rendor him ineligible to sit in Parliament. It iB thought the Belgian authorities will expel himfrom their country. The flight of their leader is causing secessions torn the Boulangist party. The Royalists stigmatise him as a ooward, and a large section of the press abuse him in unmeasured terms. La iauterue says he departed like a defaulting cashier. Boulanger in an interview stated that his principal supporters' advised him to fly. He met Rochefort at Mods. The latter, who was also interviewed, hints that t-lie Government aimed at nothing less than the murder of their political opponents. He also announced that the National Committee with only four dissentients, had urged the necessity of Boulanger and himseeking safety in flight.
