nected himSc with the Presbyterian Church,
was the cause of considerable comment in Bal
tmure yesterday
Archbishop BayIey publishes u letter to the
effect that Mr. Jaquemet was priest 10
good Standng aud had received certificate
from the archbishop declaring that there was
no lmputatlOn gu his character. The arch
bishop indicates that he would have had
nothing to say had Mr.. Jacqucmet quietly
LETT the Catholic Church aud joiUed himself
TO the Presbyterlaus or any other deuom-
nation, but as it is. he says he has been
urged to make brief statement" Al
ter stating that Mr.. Jaquemet was never
formally received into this diucesc," and that
such position as he mad III 1t was owing to com
mlserallon Tor poor priest, Sc., the arch
bishop states that Mr. Jvqucmet told him thar
he had formed the habit Oh using preparations
OF opium some years ago 10 amclOrate the bad
effects OF the Mississippi water while pertnrm
ing missionary duties, aud the archbishop adds
that after Mr.. Jaquemet had been received in
to his house he found out that he sometimes
INDUCED 10 more active stimulauts.
The archbishop then refers TO his having
told J.quetnet at that time that il would be
impossible to give him any permanent sltua,
ton i'll the diocese, but OH petition to give him
another trial, he (the archbishop "persuadcd
good Father Michigan Of ST. Peters, to re-
cevc him at least for awhile" but finally he
was "obligcd TO withdraw his faculties" Be
ing again urged, the archbishop then prevailed
upon the apbot of the Trapplst monastery, at
Gethsemaue, KY, TO receive him, where his
expenses were paid by the archbishop, who
adds:
After remaining for some months at Geth-
semant, he LETT the monastery aud returned 10

forced hlU>c! into my presence, and when |
refused To restore his faculties, he became very
much excited, aud intmated to me, as he left
the house, that he would COMMIT suicide.
Sometime afterwards be wrote 70 NE that he
was utterly destitute, and again begged me to
have mercy Oh him. He said that he knew

would receive priest IutU his diocese on such
u letter without first writing aud Obtalnlng
further Information. So Tar from declaring
that everything i, right, such brief letters show
that there Is sUIncthing wrung, Tor good priest
removing 10 other diocese would bear with hun
not mere negative declaration that he was un
der no ecclesiastical ctnSurc. but a positive and
full! statement Of his worthiuess ard Zeal.
"'rhc above is simple and true statement Of

The archbishop hcu again refers to the CTR
ttcatc which Mr.. Jaqu, met Obtained from him
when representing that he waited 20 20 to
Cu3a, aud says: 40 explain in fact this ccrti-
licate, which would be misunderstood by thuSe
not acquainted with ecclesiastical usages aud
the circumstances under which it was given, is
in fact the ehtt reason Tor NY writing this let
ter | sincerely regret thai l have to write ii
Tor my reason. 1t gives NE 40 pleasure TO eX-
pose or to dwelt upon the dehuquencies of these
who have given themselves to the service Of
religion, whether they belong to the Catholic
Church or not To use Dean Switt's we'll

just now ln w"edng his garden, and have
charity enough in NE to advise those who snatch
at these weeds, as eagerly as II they were good
vegetable, that they arc not wholesome Or good
to cat.
In note. Mr.. Jaqucmct says:
III is SAID that have made several attempts
to induce the archbishop Ia grant lie faculties.
This Is not true. know too we'll his grace tn
to make such useless attempt You may just

the published Statements that "he had threat
cned to 90 something desperate" If his tacu
ties were not given him, Mr.. Jaqucmet says
This again is not true. | never said such u
foolish thing; nor did say that would do
anything to destroy myself In fact the whole
story is calculated to luJure me by false repre-
sensations, &c.
