Excerpt from The Catholic World, Vol. 2: Monthly Eclectic Magazine of General Literature and Science; October, 1865, to March, 1866

Agreeably to the decision of the bishops, it was resolved to pursue the annulment of the marriage as defec tive in form before the diocesan ofii cialty in the first instance, and after ward before the metropolitan author ity. Canonical proceedings were qui etly instituted, and witnesses sum moned. These witnesses were Car dinal Fesch, MM. De Talleyrand, Ber thier, and Duroc. The first was to testify as to the forms observed; and the three others as to the nature of the consent given by both parties con cerned. Cardinal Fesch declared he had received dispensations from the Pope authorizing the omission of cer tain forms, and thus justified the ab sence of witnesses and of the parish cure. M. De Talleyrand, Berthier, and Dame affirmed having heard from Napoleon several times that he only intended to allow a mere ceremony for the purpose of reassuring the Pope's conscience and that of Jose phine; but that his formal determi nation had ever been not to complete his union with the empress, being nu happily convinced that he must one day renounce her for the good of his empire.
