BOULANGER'S FLIGHT.
[By Eleotbio Telegraph—Copyright.] [Pbb Pbess Association. )
PARIS, April 5,
At a stormy sitting of the Chamber of Deputies today a motion granting leave to prosecute General Boulanger was carried by a majority of 152, on the grounds that he was conspiring to overthrow the Govsrnment. During the debate M. Baudry Dasson, representative of the Department of Vendee, threatened M. Meline with violence, and was severely censured by the President of the Chamber.
The Senate, it is expected, will deprive General Boulanger of his military rank and civil rights, thus rendering him ineligible to stand for election for any department. The Belgian journals are demanding the expulsion of General Boulanger from that country, and it is considered likely that he will proceed to England. The Opportunists and Radical journals declare that the flight of General Boulanger has put an end to Boulangism.
