The Nuntio has received Rese's letter of April 21 concerning the two legacies of Father John Baptist Joffroy. He asked the Sacred Congregation for instructions on the application of the bequests to the two dioceses of Detroit and Cincinnati. The Sacred Congregation, through the Cardinal Prefect, but its letter No. 68, of which he encloses a copy, sets forth the proper manner for dividing the funds. The first foundation of 5040 florins c.m. at 6% will be given to Rese as Bishop of Detroit in whose diocese live the Indians for whom Joffroy left the capital. The second fund of 5850 florins c.m. at 5% is to be divided alternately between the bishops of the two dioceses according to the accompanying decree of the Sacred Congregation. By order of the Sacred Congregation he sends by the American Consul Schwartz the sum of 302.24 florins c.m., the interest until November 7, 1834. His letter of September 25 and January 19 contained the 453.36 florins c.m. interest until November 7, 1833. In consequence of the decision of the Sacred Congregation on the second legacy, the Nuntio has had to speed up the sending of the entire sum of the revenues until July 12 to the Bishop of Cincinnati John Baptist Purcell whom he has notified, that when two of the three to be ordained for the diocese of Cincinnati have received orders Rese is to name two men seminarians to be supported by this fund. After that Rese can notify the office of the Vienna nunciature whatever has been his choice. Rese is asked to answer without delay. Enclosure:
