Y HAVE BEEN APPLIED. ' ' ' P ^ ' V^ _ I^ast year, during the session of Parlian?ent, it was proposed to determine the use to which the Estates of the late Order of Jesuits were to be applied. Tho Bishops, wlio claimed those Estates for the purposes of catholic education, presented to the several branches of tho Legislature an humble petition to. that effect, accompanied with an argumentative Memorandum in which it was clearly shown, it seems to us, that those Estates having been originally acquired or given for the propagation of the catholic faith among the Indians, and the promotion of catholic education in the colony, equity required that, since the government surrendered Ihem to be applied towards the attainment of the 4 original ubject, they should be intrusted to the Bishopv^, by whom alone tiiat object could be fully accomplished. The members of the Ministry and several other mem* bers ojf the ive have thought it would be interesting to tjie public to knoTy the usies to which the Jesuits' Estates have ))een applied by protestant as well as catholic govern- ments, in those countries where establishments of the jorder oxisted at the time of its suppression, and also the i^se that has been made of them in Canada from 1800 to 1831. It will be seen ♦hat the protestants of this province, and the protestants alone, with very trifling exceptions, have profited by those Estates. As it is now proposed to divide anew between them and the catholics, it seems to us of the strictest justice to bfgin by setting asi4e, for the catholics alone, and before talking of ^ny division, a sum equal to that which has been given to the protestants,whether for religious objects, pensions, Of unknown services, etc., etc., etc. These, it will be seen, amount to the pretty iiW/c sum of £38,762 12 4J, not including the expenses of management, outstanding papitals^ claims against M.cGill College, etc., etc., etc., 1 ; ; s ishups, lished, mem" main* f (hosG do not s suffi' s, and as tha " La ' But public 3 have jovern- o( tha ilso the 1 1800 of this trifling is now tholics, setting king ojf » given nsions, will be 12 H, landing which swell the total amount to Je47,244 7 ^. We have taken for our guide a Report made to the House of Assembly of Lower Canada on the 7th February 1832, which is to be found in the Journals of the House, Appendix Ir. There are, however, in tlta calculations of this Report, some omissions and errors of addition which we do not undertake to correct. The estatps possessed by the Jesuits, before their suppression in the last century, were held by them as <;hurch property, which possession and tenure were admitted and protected by the laws in all catholic countries. In countries not catholic, these estates were either regarded, in virtue of treaties, as church property, and, as such, under the protection of the Jaws (thus — in the parts of Silesia and Poland subject to Prussia, in the part of Lithuania subject to Russia, in virtue of the Pacta conventa) ; or they were con- sidered merely as property belonging to private indivi- duals, or even to a catholic congregation, and in the same predicament as all other private property. I. When Clement the XlVth suppressed the Order of Jesuits in 1773, by the brief Dominus a e Redemptor, he reserved to himself the , ght of applying to pious works, and according to the ini mtions of the founders, (the real property or revenues of the extinct society. As to the individuals composing it, the Pope left jthem free to enter other religious orders or to remain in the world as secular priests, assigning to eacii, in ,the latter case, a suitable pension out of the revenues of ithe religious bouse or college in which they liv^id, etc. To the professed members of the order ihe Pope, besides, left it optional to remain, as long as they lived, in the houses which they previously inhabited, on certain conditions, etc., " so that the houses vacated •* might be converted to pious uses, as might appear, *' from the circumstances of time and place, to be most " conformable to the holy canons and to the will of the " founders," etc., etc. (Such are the words of the brief Dominus ac Redemptor. ) In fact, the estates of the Jesuits in Rome and the rest of Italy were, agreeably to those provisions, applied to pious or religious uses, and their colleges, according to the intentions of the founders, were dedicated to education, etc. There exists a brief of Clement the XlVth, of the 3r(l April, 1774, wherein, after com- mending the flourishing state in which the Jesuits left the Roman College and Seminary, he appropriates these two establishments to education as formerly. The Pope, however, was obliged to add an annual sum to the revenues of the college, which, though sufficient fur the Jesuits, were not so to support the new professors. But when the Order liad been solemnly revived by Pius the Vllth, in 1811, ihis Pope then, and his suc- cessors since, restored to llic .Jesuits their f*)rmcr posr sessions. On the 7th August, the very day on which was published the Bull reviving the Order, SolHcitudQ omnium Ecclesiarum, etc., in presence of more than fifiy old Jesuits, cardinal Pacca caused to be read an edict of the Sovereign Pontid' commanding restitution to be made of the existing funds of tho Order, nrid in- demnification for those that had been alienated. {L^Ami de la Religion^ vol. II, page 215.) At a later period, Leo the Xth restored to the Jesuits the Roman College (brief Cummulta inurbe, 17tli May, 1824). II. Among catholic princes, some had suppressed the Order of Jesuits in their dominions before the brief of Clement the XlVth, others only suppressed it in obedience to the brief of abolition. In both cases, the estates of the Jesuits, wliich could no longer legally belong to the Order suppressed by authority of the ecclesiastical or the civil power, or of both conjointly, were generally applied, or at least supposed to be applied to pious works, education, missions, etc. In countries not catholic, the Jesuits' estates, gene- rally and with few exceptions which will be mentioned, were left in the hands of the existing members of the suppressed Order. '/ • ' ' ! PORTITGAL AND SPAIN. '' And, first, of the catholic princes who suppressed the Jesuits before the decision of Rome, namely the kings of Portugal, France and Spain, the king of Portugal, or rather his all-powerful minister Pombal, disregarding all laws, divine, ecclesiastical or civil, and even the most sacred rights of humanity, arbitrarily seized upon the estates of the dispossessed Jesuits, and while afterting to appropriate those estates, of «. ^crlesinstical origin, to pious works, enriched liis own' Creatures with them. When, in 1829^, Doh Miguel, then king of Portugal, fecalled some French Jesuits into his dominions, all . '.'i.U I- Restored in Sicily by the same Ferdinand in 1802, the Jesuits recovered a part of their estates tha thad not B 10 6een alienated ; the government and priyate liberality supplied the rest. Restored in Naples in 1820, they received liberal grants from the king, etc. In France, the Jesuits' estates were seized by decree {arrM) of the local parliaments, ostensibly lo pay th& debt of Father Lavalette^ but in reality the more surely to destroy the Order of Jesus in the dominions of the Mo§t Christian King. Indeed, no sooner were the Jesuits suppressed, than their estate!^, which were of ecclesiastical or pious foundation, were decllared, by decrees of parliament, edicts and letters-patent of thte king, to be appropridied to pious works, such as the education of youth, missions, and others, according to the intention of the founders. In the work entitled : " Recueil par ordre de dates des arrets du parlement de Paris touchant les JiSuites, de 1761 d 1765 " (Paris, 6 vol. 4to, Simon)y are to be found all the acts, decrees, edicts, etc., appropriating the estates of the Jesuits to the colleges they had directed, and declaring that these colleges had passed into other hands, either 1st of a religious congregation-, such ets the Oratorian Fathers, put in possession of the colleges of Lyons, Tournon and several others, or 2ndly into the hands of secular priests, as the colleges of Pariii, Amiens, etc. These colleges are confirmed anew in possession of the property by particular edicts and letters-patent for one or several of them, or by general provisions, at may be seen by the arrSt of the 23rd April and that of the ^8th August, 1762. The latter ij sets forth the great principle on which the several decisions of the court are founded : they are, it says, grounded on a motive of equity which dictates all the decisions of the court, to wit, that it is but just that the revenues of estates granted to a college be applied to the use of that college. The creditors of the Jesuits having fyled an opposi- tion, the king and parliament confirm the colleges in the possession of their estates by letters-patent of the 21st November, 1763, of which the following are some of the clauses : Article 1st. All property, moveable or immoveable, without exception, given or bequeathed to, or in what- ever manner acquired by, the colleges heretofore directed by the said Society of Jesus, or which may be found in the said colleges or places dependent thereon, without exception, and all grounds and buildings forming part of the said colleges, shall belong to them in full property for ever, and shall not be comprised in any manner or form, or on any pretence whatsoever, in the law-suit brought against the estates of the said Society by the trustees of its creditors, etc. Article 2nd. The said property shall remain subject to all the endowments and other charges whatever, duly established, etc. .. - ,. ■ ' In the 4th article, the parliament grant? some satis- faction to the creditors : the college of Louis-le-Grand, at .Paris, shall pay them 300,000 franks; that of la at Lyons, 250,000; that of La Fl^che, n n . } 00,000 ; that of Rheims, 40,000 ; the other colleges, one year of their revenues. And not only was it the will of the French government that the property of the Jesuits' colleges should be appplied to christian educa- tion, as originally intended, but also that it should serve to discharge the other obligations imposed by the founders, as may be seen by the 2nd article of the letters-patent of the 21st November, 1763, above quoted ; and by the arrSt of the Parliament of Paris, dated the 22nd July, 1763, it is ordered that the titles of some establishments of the Jesuits, charged with missions in favor of certain cities and boroughs, shall be examined into, in order to ascertain whether such charges exist and have been duly established, and, if so, to determine in what manner provision shall be made for their discharge out of the funds of the colleges that may be charged therewith, etc. For the accom- plishment of these two iniportant objects, the attorney- general has felt it his duty, etc. As to the property of the foreign missions on which the Jesuits served, it passed nearly all from their hands into those of the Lazarists or of the Priests of the Paris Seminary of Foreign Missions, who succeeded •■' •■UJiu; iHi; :ii .-.'u- ■, * , ' ■ • • ■'■ In 1828, soine disputes having arisen about the pos- session of certain ecclesiastical estates in Holland, the pope, Leo the XII, declared, and had it published by his internuncio, Monsignor Ciamberlani, that all the mis- sions (endowments of churches, religious houses, etc.) which had belonged to the Society, should be preserved or restored to it. . ... In England, the Jesuits, who from the coinmence- mentofthe 18th century had begun, with their own money or that which pious catholics furnished them, to acquire houses, small cliapels, etc., continued after 1773 ta ©Xiorcise their same ministry, and retained ail their possessions which they transmitted to each other. In 1803, the Fathers of Stonyhurst College had re- united with the Jesuits of Russia. They formed young I? 'I n u (( p4iests to succed the old Jesuits who still occupied the former missions. On occasion of a difference which arose between some English clergymen and the Jesuit* of this college, cardinal Litta, prefect of the Congre- gation de propaganda Fide, wrote to Dr Gibson, vicar apostolic of the Northern District, to remind him of the 22nd rule given by Benedict the XlVth, on the English missions, and of which the following are the terms : " Let nothing be altered touching the endow- ments, and let the priests, both secular and regular, remain in possession of those they now occupy." In 1773, the British government not only seemed to wink at the existence of the Jesuits in Great Britain and their possessions, and at the peaceable transmission of their estates, but even protected them against the practices of secret agents sent to England by their enemies in Italy ; which made Frederick, king of Prussia, say, when writing to D'Alembert on the 7th January, 1774 : " I am not the only one who has " retained the Jesuits ; the English and the empress of " Russia do the same." ( (Euvres de D^Alembertj tome XVII, page 378.) In 1762, while the French parliaments were pros- cribing the Jesuits and so shamefully despoiling them of their property, the English took Martinico, and under their kind protection the Jesuits of that island sold their estates to subjects of the British crown for three or four millions. "n The following fact will illustrate the good failh and c . . - J 18 liberality of the British government towards the reli- gious orders of the catholic church. The emperor of China, Kang-hi, having been cured of a serious illness by Father Bernard Rhodes, a Jesuit coadjutor, testified his gratitude by giving some ingots of gold to the Jesuits of Pekin. These ingots were sold and brought the sum of 200,000 franks. The supe- riors of the mission invested this sum in the English East India Company, on the sole condition that the annual interest (12,000 franks) should be appropriated to all the Jesuit missionaries of China or India who might be in want. On the destruction of the Order, the English Company was about to follow the example of certain catholic princes. It confiscated the 200,000 franks and ceased to pay the annual interest to the Jesuits, for the purpose of devoting it to the support of hospitals. The ex-Jesuits of Pondichery brought their complaint in London, and the governors of the Com- pany wrote to their agents that if other governments had committed so grievous an offence against the law of nations, it was no reason why the East India Com- pany should imitate them. They directed the capital to be prese^ed untouched, and the interest to be paid ; they even commanded three years' arrears to be refunded. When the last Jesuit died at Pondichery in 1813, the Congregation de propagandd Fide^ at Rome, decided that this fund should be appropriated to the Chinese missions. ' aU 9 of fo k t] t 19 I CANADA. It is knowu that lord Amherst had obtained from the British government the inheritance of the Jesuits for the eminent services he had rendered while commanding in America ; but the difficulty of carrying this project into effect caused it to be abandoned. Not only the estates were preserved, but also the revenues, which were never mixed up with those of the government. It seems as if an especial providence had watched over those estates, to preserve them in order that they might one day return to their primitive object, namely, the propagation of the catholic faith and catholic education. A part of the estates has been sold, and a consider- able amount of money arising from the sales (£11,396 9 11|) has remained in the hands of tlie purchasers, of which we suppose they annually pay the interest to government. Another part of the estates is occupied for public uses, and appears to yield no revenue. The following is a list of them. In the City of Quebec. The Jesuits' College is occupied as barracks, and the college grounds serve as a place of exercise for the troops. . On the ground on which their church was situated, now stand the butchers' stalls. A ground of irregular figure, near the Jail, is oc- 20 «upied by one of the fire companies with an engine- house. A ground situated on D^Auteuii street (Esplanade) has been granted to the members of the Congregation of Notre-Dame de Quebec by letters-patent of the 19th November, 1817. Another ground on the same street has been granted to the English National School, by letters-patent dated the 5th July, 1830. - r s A ground at La Vacherie is in possession of the trustees of St. Roch's Church. * ' ' ' ' On another ground at La Vacherie the Marine Hospital is built. Remark. — The two last mentioned lots comprise the extent of ground between Panet street and the old Dorchester Bridge, and contain about three arpents. Another ground at La Vacherie, containing about 30,341 superficial feet, is in possession of the (English) Episcopal Church. Another ground at La Vacherie is reserved for a market place. In the City of Montreal. The whole property, with the exception of three small lots, is occupied by the Court House, the Jail and a vast Champ-de-Mars (parade ground for the troops) . 81 ne- le) ion 9th [ted ited the •ine the old In the Town of Three-Rivers.
