The erection of the Vicariate of Arl-
zona, for which the Prelates had petltioned,
is delayed for the present, probably as
premature; as is also the appointment OF
sCvadju,or to the lamented Right Rev.
Dr.. Baraga, Bishop of Marquette, lately
deceased. The delay in the latter case
Mas caused by the desire to obtain 1uller
!nvrnation in reference to candidates
Proposed, the sudden and dangerous ILL
ness Of the venerable Bishop at the begin
ling Of the Council having made it i'm
possible for him to I'll up the descriptive
aud explanatory lists containing the requi-
site Information, so wisely required by the
Holy See in such cases.
The pontiflcal letters, in the form OF
briefs, authorizing the conservation of the
Lew Prelates, have not yet arrived, but
they are promised so soon as they can be
prepared and we trust that the delay will
Lot be protracted.
BY order of the Most Rev. Archbishop.
THOMAS FOLEY, Chancellor.
