Boulanger's Opinion.

London, July 19th.—Boulanger has issued a manifesto in which he declares the law against the multiple candidates in France is a blow against universal suffrage.

The measure, however, he says will not prevent the nation from making known its sovereign will. He continues: "As a protest against this obvious violation of law the National Committee has decided it shall present a candidate for Councils-General in eighty Cantons. The verdict of the people of these Cantons will be the prelude to the grander triumph that is near at hand. Before long the "gang" that now dishonors the country will be positively swept away and internal peace restored."
