Coronation of Napoleon at Notre-Dame. Napoleonic theory of the Empire and the Holy See. The Pope a feudatory and subject of the Emperor. The pope installed as a functionary at Paris, and arch-chancellor on spiritual matters. Effect of this for Italy.
This anecdote, Baron Dahlberg, the Minister of the Elector of Baden to our Court, had the ingenuity to relate at Madame Chapui's as an evidence of Edelsheim's intimacy with Talleyrand; only he left out the latter part, and forgot to mention the bad grace with which this impertinence of Talleyrand was received; but this defect of memory Count von Beust, the envoy of the Elector Arch-Chancellor, kindly supplied.
