-1814."--Lanfrey, "Histoire de Napoleon,"V., p. 208. The Prince de
Rohan, head chaplain, writes in a request he makes, The great Napoleon
is my tutelary divinity. On the margin of this request Napoleon attaches
the following decision: "The Duc de Frioul will pay to the head chaplain
12,000 francs,--tax on receipts of the theatres." (Feb. 15, 1810.)
Another example of the same type is M. Roquelaure, archbishop of
Malines, who addresses Josephine with a little ancient-regime speech,
at once episcopal and gallant. The First Consul, therefore, makes him
Member of the Institute. (Bourrienne, V., p. 130.) This archbishop, in
the administration of his diocese, zealously applies the policy of the
First Consul. "We have seen him suspend from his functions a priest who
had exhorted a dying man to restore ecclesiastical property which he had
taken." ("Dictionnaire biographique," published at Leipsic by Eymery,
1806, 1808.)]

[Footnote 51109: D'Haussonville, II., 237, 239, 272.--Pelet de la
Lozere, 201: "At other times Napoleon praised the priests, wanted
their services, largely attributing the departure of conscripts and the
submission of the people to their influence."--Idem, 173 (May 20, 1806,
words of Napoleon): "The Catholic priests behave very well and are of
great service. It is owing to them that the conscription this year has
been better than in former years... No branch of the State speaks so
well of the government."]

decree."]

[Footnote 51113: To an ordinary reader, even Catholic, if not versed!in
canon law, Napoleon's exactions seem mediocre and even acceptable;
they reduce themselves down to fixing a delay and seeming to add to the
competency of councils and the authority of bishops. (D'Haussonville,
IV.,366, session of the council, Aug. 5, 1811, propositions adopted and
decree. Cf. the Concordat of Fontainebleau, Jan. 25, 1813, article 4.)]
