TO publish in this number OF our paper, creating
this See an Archdiocese, aud eievating our Chief
Pastor to the rank OF Archbishop. The Bret with
the accomp anyDg letter of Cardinal Fransoni,

church that, from the momen, that the Brief Gre
ating the Archbishop is received, all fUnctiona Of
Episcopal Order, as distinguished from jurisdic-
ton, shall be suspended until the reception Of The
Pnlium. which the newly created Archbishop
must ask from the Pope, ia person or by deputy,
within three months time. Archbishop Hughes
has announced il as possible, il rot probable, mat,
on this account. and for the flrtherance Of various
projects which he has IL heart for the good Of
| lg~n in the new ARCHDIOCESE, he may visit Easnps

be felt az his absence, should lac deterniae on the
voyage, will be couBterbalances by the prospect
of the advantages to flow from H. and slso by the
new yiRor that may follow a temporary respite
| from tolls and responsibilities 10 very heavy.
