[Footnote 51101: Idem. IV. Order of arrest of M. d'Avian, archbishop of Bordeaux, as one of the opponents of the Council (July 11, 1811). Savary himself, Minister of Justice, raises objections. "Sire, do nothing with M. d'Avian. He is a saint and we shall have everybody against us."] [Footnote 51102: Idem., IV. p. 58. Address of the ecclesiastical commission enumerating the favors granted to religion, "the legion of Honor, conferred on many prelates, the titles of baron and count assigned to bishops and archbishops of the Empire, the admission of several of these to the legislative assembly and senate."] [Footnote 51103: D'Haussonville, IV.,p. 366. (Last session of the national council, August 5, 1811.)] [Footnote 51104: Reading this, as Lenin must have done, could he help but dream of the day, when he could become head of a state, head of a foreign service, of a secret police force and hence be able to subvert the entire world including the religious organizations, the political parties, diplomatic services not to speak of international organizations in New York or Brussels. (SR.)] [Footnote 51105: Idem., I., pp. 203-205.] [Footnote 51106: Idem., p. 228. Cf. the "Almanach impérial de 1806-1814."--Lanfrey, "Histoire de Napoléon,"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-régime 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 51107: Roederer, III., p. 459 (December 30, 1802).] [Footnote 51108: D'Haussonville, II., 257. (Report by Portalis to the Emperor, Feb. 13, 1806.)--Idem., II., 226.] [Footnote 51109: D'Haussonville, II., 237, 239, 272.--Pelet de la Lozère, 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."] [Footnote 51110: D'Haussonville, III, IV.,and V., passim.] [Footnote 51111: "Mémoires," by the Chancelier Pasquier, IV.,358.]
