The Archbishop holds the great seal of France the royal assent was given, and the great seal affixed to the decree of the national assembly almost the instant it was presented, by which the church is stripped of her immense possessions.
This decree will be felt by those who probably did not think themselves likely to be affected by it, for the principle on which it is founded, shakes the tenure by which every corporate body in France holds property.
The decree for suspending for a time, or provisionally, the power of ecclesiastical superiors to admit any person of either sex to make religious or monastic vows, also received the royal assent.
