time strongly inclined toward the Jesuits, helped to bring about
the arrangement. There was, however, considerable opposition to its
consummation, especially from the Company of Merchants; but, according
to Faillon, the new viceroy asserted his authority over them, and
obliged them to yield. In accordance with the agreement, the Jesuit
fathers Lalemant, Massé, and Brébeuf, with the coadjutors François
Charreton, Jean Goffestre, and Gilbert Burel, were sent to New France
in April, 1625. There they pursued their missionary labors until the
capture of Quebec by the English, four years later. After that event,
Kirk sent all the missionaries back to France, by way of England. When
the French returned (1632), they were accompanied solely by Jesuit
priests, for Richelieu would not allow the Récollets to resume their
Canadian missions.
For accounts of this transaction, from a Récollet standpoint, see
Shea's _Le Clercq_, pp. 224-233; and Sagard's _Canada_, pp. 860-865.
The Jesuit view is given in Rochemonteix's _Jésuites_, vol. i., pp.
137-153. Cf. Faillon's _Colon. Fr._, vol. i., pp. 206-212.
23 (p. 171).--This was Joseph de la Roche-Daillon (written also
d'Allion), a Récollet priest of the province of St. Denis, allied to
the house of the counts du Lud (or Lude). He accompanied the Jesuit
missionaries to Canada, and, after remaining at Quebec for a year, went
to the Huron country with Brébeuf and De Nouë. In October, 1626, he
visited the Neutral Nation, and spent the winter there. In the summer
of 1628, he returned from the Huron mission to Quebec, remaining there
until its capture; Champlain mentions his visit to "Father la Roche,"
just before that event, to ask if the Récollets could supply any grain
to the colony. Sagard gives (_Canada_, pp. 880-892) a letter written
to a friend by Daillon, describing his visit to the Neutrals; it is
reproduced by Le Clercq (Shea's ed., vol. i., pp. 263-272). Harris
(citing Noiseux's _Liste chronologique_) gives the date of Daillon's
death as July 16, 1656.--_Early Missions in Western Canada_ (Toronto,
1893), p. 56, _note_.
