.1 'ifjmt . AniLLAGA, Rev. BASILIC MANU- 

 EL, D. D.. Superior of the Jesuits in Mexico, 

 and Rector of the College of San Ildefonso, died 

 in the prison there of the privations to which 

 he was subjected. Dr. Arillaga was over 

 eighty years of age, and was arrested by the 

 Liberal authorities, together with Bishop Or- 

 maechea, of Vera Cruz. He was probably the 

 most erudite scholar that Mexico has ever pro- 

 !, and at one time or another had under 

 his tutorship the most prominent and eminent 

 men of his country. In 1865 the Abb6 Tes- 

 tory, head chaplain of the French forces, wrote 

 a pamphlet in defence of the nationalization of 

 Church property. In the course of his remarks 

 he characterized the Mexican clergy a* ignorant 

 and corrupt. Dr. Arillaga replied to this bro- 

 chure in three pamphlets, and brought down 

 upon the Abbe Testory the indignation of all 

 uninterested foreigners then in Mexico. The 

 reply of Dr. Arillaga is a masterpiece of learn- 

 ing, statistics, wit, and sarcasm. Perhaps noth- 

 ing contributed more to the estrangement be- 

 tween the native Imperialists and foreign in- 

 ntionists, and ultimately to the downfall 

 of the empire, thnn this pamphlet of the Abb6 

 Testory. The memory of Dr. Arillaira will he 

 ed by all Mexicans, without distinction of 

 party.
