FROM EUROPE.
Hon. John BRIGHT.

LONDON, Feb. 2l.-The statement that the
Hon. John Bright is likely to return shortly to
Parliamentary duties is not well founded. He
will not probably resume his duties at this ses-
sion and his temperance in the House is most
likely to be preceded by visit to his con-
stituents. Bright's health is progressing steadily
towards restoration.

Monarchists In the Assembly. m
| PARIS, Feb. 21-Although there are nominally
| 4UO MOnarcnlets In the Assembly, against SUI OF
| all other parties, the former are equally divided
in favor of different aspirants for the throne,
with little promise of harmony or coalition,
| from the fact that many who are rated as appa-
rent outside Monarchists are really straightfor-
ward Republicans who advocate for France the
American system of government outright. They
are lin opposition to the Reds and all sorts of
| Republicans in atiliation with the Communists.
| They have similar tendencies with the
French Democrats. They do not hold the re-
public responsible for the failure of Gambetta
and his associates, or for the disorders which
occurred under the rule of nominal republicans;
but they condemn the extreme ideas of certain
republicans as inconsistent with the safety of
property or life. If the Assembly is disposed
to lay the foundation of legitimate and free
government, founded on the political equality
of the whole people, every moderate, including
the so-ealled Orleansts, will support them. This
is the meaning of the election of Grevy chair
man.
