Abroad , religion also comes into ^ the consideration of the . tate . jBuonaparte feels his difficulties on this subject . He is under excommunication from the Pope , a state in , which several emperors have been before him ; as he pays very little regard to the exploded terrors of this once formidable decrge , no great evil effect wi : l be produceihy it . But there * i * a connection still ,
between his church and the Pope , and from the situation of tjie latter , there are embarrassments in the regular mode of appointing the bishops and higher clergy , whose appointment must receive the Papai sanction . To remedy this inconvenience the Emperor has summoned a council of his b sfaops , and we shall be curious Co hear it decisions , which will
