Fathers Dubois,Brute, and Xaupi, ceased to belong to St. Sulpice;but the closest bonds of friendship and intercoursecontinued to exist. When, in the same year, 1826,Father Dubois was appointed to the see of New York,it was in St. Marys Seminary, Baltimore, that hemade his spiritual retreat, preparatory to his consecra-tion. It were hard to exaggerate the beneficent influ-ence of the well-known Institution founded by FathersDubois and Brute. It has justly been called themother of bishops ; it has given to America its firstCardinal, and trained for the State many able and dis-tinguished Rt. Rev. John Du Bois, D. D.,Third Bishop of New York. HISTORICAL SKETCH. 21 The administration of Father Tessier as Superior ofSt. Marys Seminary lasted from 1810 to 1829. Hisconstant and unostentatious efforts were seconded byseveral other Sulpicians of great worth. Prominentamong these was Father Ambrose Marechal, who, afteran absence of nine years in France (1803-1812), hadreturned to the field of his former labors. His learning,eloquence, piety, sweet and firm disposition, made himthe most trusted support of the Seminary. After havingrefused the sees of l^ew York and Philadelphia, at theinstance of the Superior of St. Sulpice, he accepted thatof Baltimore under the assurance of remaining in theSociety. His Bulls of coadjutor of Archbishop JNealehaving arrived after the death of the latter, he was atonce acknowledged Archbishop of Baltimore, and conse-crated, December 14th, 1817.
