The French Bribery Allegations.
The question whether the Carthusian monks were or were not blfick- ! mailed in the interest of the UovI eminent, or of M. Combes, 'his won and secretary, isi tlie question of tlie hour in France. The attack on M. Combes'himself is not serious, as nobody believes him guilty ; but it *is bocoming evident that tine Committee of Enquiry think there may be a case against his son, and are probing; in every direction in the hope of finding evidence. At present they have none except the assertions of more or less obscure individuals, who M. Edgar Combes declares are " liars," and who certainly give Hicrodible accounts of interviews in the presence of the Premier, which he declares nover oceured. The rulers of the Carthusians could clear up the matter at once; but having no documentary proof, they refuse to give, evidence. They would, of course, like to see M. Combes destroyed as a politician ; but as yet there is no clear proof that they offered anybody any money.
