BONAPhRTE'S TREATMENT OF THE
POPE.
A narrative Of what passed 1T Fontainbeau
on the ed and Esd January, 1914, when his
Holiness the Pope was s-nt off from thence,
has been transmitted to us from Paris The
account is truly interesting.
M. &c Beaumont, Bishop of Plaisance, whom
Napoleon had named Archbishop of Rourges
was sent several times to the Holy Father, to
persuade him to agree to some arrangements.
All his efforts were III vain. The Archbishop
OF Tours, the Bishop of Evreux, and the Car
dlnal Maury, were also sent. Plus VII re-
used to see the Cardinal. He admitted the
ether Preates, and in answer to their press
my solicitations to make some sacrifices, bv
winch he might avert the Consequences of
refusal, he said, Leave me to die worthy of
the sufferings have endured" NJ. de Beau
mont afterwards presented to him in writing
the declaration of the Emperor, that he would
consent to restore to the head of the Church
a part of his estates, provided that Plus VII
would agree to cede the other. To this the
Holy Father replied, "The domains of Saint
reter are not my property /; they belong to
the church and cannot Consent TO the least
CeSSlon as to the rest, tell your Emperor
that II, tor my tranSgreSSions, l may never
more return to Rome, my successor shall en-
ter IN triumph, in spite of al the efforts of the
French Government"
M. de Beaumont Showed an inclination to
Justify the Emperor who said he had the best
intentions. " / depend much more on the AL
lied Princes than on him. said the Sovereign
Pontitf. The prelate astonished, desired some
explanation OF these words, " 1t does not
suit me to give an explanation, nor for YOU
to hear il" replied the head of the Church
M. de Beaumont then said it was the Empe-
ror's intention that his Holiness should return
to Rome. 1t must be then with all nv Cardi-
nails, said the Sovereign PontiH. The Bish-
op SAID that that could not be at prcsent-that
the Emperor had the best intentions but that
circumstances would not allow him to permit
the departure of the Cardinals for Rome at
the same time. Then" said Plus VII. " if
your emperor chooses to treat me as mere
Member OF the Church IN Simhle Rehgi-
euT, J | do not forget who / am myself /
want only voiturc to carry me. All tht ]
demand is TO be at Rome, to fulfil the functions
OF my pastoral charge" The Bishop replied,
that the Emperor felt what was due to his dig
nifty, and wished to give him an honorable es-
cort "a Colonel would accompany his Holt
ness. At least" replied the Pope with dig
NIFTY, the Colonel shall not be in my carri-
age. M de Beaumont departed, and a Colo
mel entered the apartment, and said he was
commanded to accompany him to Rome. This
was Saturday afternoon. The Pope said he
would not depart till the next day, after
he had performed his Mass. He made this de-
claration with so much hrmness, that no an
swer was made u; but the Colonel never quit
ted the apartment, nor was his Holiness Suf-
Tered to speak to any person apart.
His Holiness however, convoked all the
Cardinals then at FOntainbleau, to the num-
Der OF II, and in the presence of the Colonel
prescribed to them three things -
l. Not to wear the decoration which they.
had received from the Emperor
,. Not to accept of any emoltmcnt or of any
pension from the French Government
3. Not go toany repast to which they might
be invited by the persons attached 20 the Co
vernment.
On Sunday the 2Sd January, at II o'clock,
the Holy Father was carried away from Fon-
tainbeau, and slept that night at Orleans
They made him travel under the name of the
Bishop of Imola. Afterwards the Cardinals
were carried away, ach-by himself, and each
conducted by a gems d'drmee and they were
not to be told the place of destination till az
ter they had set out
On the ID of April it was not generally
known at Paris where they were gone, when
the Provisional Government published the
decree, " that all obstacles to the return of his
Holiness to Rome should instantly cease, and
that all due honors should be paid to him"
