--The war between the Bishops and the
French Government is now assuming such proportions that a "cataclysm"--to use
M. de Gramont's expression to
Cardinal Antonelli — must be near at hand.
The
Bishop of
Poitiers, in a published pastoral letter, compares the
Emperor to Pontius Pilate.
This fact is announced by the Patrie, under the head of "Latest News," and attested, which " latest news" usually is not, by the signature of its leading writer,
M. Pauline Limayrac.
The
Bishop also speaks of the
Emperor in his letter as "this man."
