There is a lull for the moment in France, till
the Chamber and the Government have finally decided whether they will or will not call a Congress, a decision which must be given next week. The Senate is most reluctant to accede, but the general impression is that the revision will be voted. President Carnot is on tour in the Gironde, and is, on the whole, well receibed ; and the Paris Municipality has, by an immense majority, voted against General Boulanger. Nevertheless, his position with the populace is uncertain, and the Government is said to be contemplating his arrest. We question that story, as an arrest- would rouse fierce indignation in the Chamber, which values its inviolability, and might try the discipline of the barracks. A corresponaent, who has carefully inquired on the spot, tells us that while General Boulanger is not liked by the superior officers, the younger men and the soldiers believe in him implicitly, and that all over France retired soldiers and priests are acting as his voluntary agents.
