The company exercised through its numerous provincial houses a decisive influence upon the education of the French clergy, while in Canada it acquired a sort of religious suzerainty which harmonised very well with the English rule so well-disposed towards ancient rights and custom, and which has lasted down to our own day. The Revolution did not have any effect upon St. Sulpice.
Dispatches came, and pedestrians hurried in from the country, waving their bulletins above their heads, and Sulpice heard on every lip the same cry: "Vaudrey leads!" Some cried bravo, while others clapped their hands. A crowd quickly gathered about Vaudrey. It already seemed to him that he was lifted up by a great wave and carried to a new world.
Sulpice, who received their full share of official abuse, began to repent bitterly of the governor they had chosen. Frontenac had received stringent orders from the king to arrest all the bush-rangers, or coureurs de bois; but, since he had scarcely a soldier at his disposal, except his own body-guard, the order was difficult to execute.

Sulpice; though the great scientific and critical attainments of men like Eugéne Burnouf, the brilliant conversation of M. Cousin, and the revival brought about by Germany in nearly all the historical sciences, coupled with my travels and the fever of production, carried me away and prevented me from meditating on the years which were already relegated to what seemed like a distant past.
Guy was annoyed at having come. "I could well have waited and kept my anger to myself. The unhappy woman would have known nothing." "Bah!" he added. "She is kind, she adores Sulpice, it is only a passing storm. She will forgive!" He promised himself, moreover, to return in the evening, to excuse himself to Adrienne, to comfort her if he could.
At the beginning of 1810 there was an ecclesiastic commission, consisting of Cardinal Fesch, President; Cardinal Maury, famous at the time of the Constituent Assembly, and later, one of the Imperial courtiers; the Archbishop of Tours; the bishops of Nantes, Treves, Evreux, and Verceil; and the Abbe Emery, Superior of the Seminary of Saint Sulpice.
