Minutes of PF general meeting of 22 August 1678 discussing among other issues, a petition on behalf of Jean Le Vacher, vicar apostolic in Algiers to PF, in which he asks: a) for the faculties of vicar general of Carthage; b) for the permission to administer the sacrament of confirmation; and c) for the faculties of provicar for the Capuchin Giuseppe Maria da Bologna, who he appointed to replace Grisostomo da Genova. During their meeting of 22 August 1678 the cardinals decide not to consent to the first two requests. They do however agree to the faculties for the new provicar.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 29 March 1678 discussing among other issues, a petition on behalf of the Venetian slaves in Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli. They ask that PF allow two Capuchins per city for the purpose of handling ransom money, because they have nobody from their own region on whom they can rely on. They currently have to do business with Jews, but this only makes the problems more difficult, instead of helping the slaves. The cardinals agree to the solution of sending two Capuchins per city.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 7 February 1678 discussing among other issues, a letter from Francesco Gatta, a missionary in Barbary. He writes about a Spanish boy who has endured many sufferings at the hands of his brothers and Father, who took him to Tunis with the express intention of converting to Judaism. They themselves had already converted, however he refused, despite the many beatings he suffered over the course of the year. The cardinals decide that the boy should receive protection, and that a certain "Julio de Angelino," from Livorno should be contacted, in order to find out whether the boy arrived in Livorno, or if there is any news about him.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 26 June 1674 discussing among other issues, a letter from Carlo d'Ancona. Jean Le Vacher, vicar apostolic in Algiers, has sent him to be provicar in Tunis. D'Ancona reports on the state of the mission, and mentions that he found five priests (four slaves and one free). The latter Marcello Costa is a good priest, but the rest are mediocre, and cannot be trusted to have interests other than their liberty. D'Ancona thinks that the care of a bagnos should not be given to slave priests in the future. He also asks how to deal with a certain slave priest who wants to work in multiple bagnos, even though he has to celebrate mass with chains around his feet. Since D'Ancona has heard few good things about this priest, he asks whether he should let him continue his service or withdraw it altogether. The cardinals agree with the second proposition. Lastly, D'Ancona asks that PF confirm the patents that Le Vacher had given him, but the cardinals decide that there is no need to do so.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 26 June 1674. The cardinals discussed among other issues the case of Marcello Costa, who was named missionary and provicar in Tunis, at the PF meeting of 28 February 1673. The missionary patents and the prevision of 30 scudi were also given to Jean Le Vacher. From the letter that Costa wrote on 29 January it becomes clear that Le Vacher gave the money directly to Costa, despite being instructed to give it to him only after a year of service. This was necessary because Costa had worked for 8 years in several missions without receiving any payment. He was also in debt, due to having to personally pay for his travel expenses to reach each mission assigned to him. For these reasons Le Vacher agreed to give him the money. Costa also says to have served in Tunis on his own; even though there are four slave priests in the city, Costa works on his own, as for different reasons, none of these priests are able to work. Costa is also afraid that they will lose Le Vacher, because he is suffering from spasm in one of his legs, which is about to be amputated. In his first letter, Costa wrote that the Capuchin Fathers had not reached their destination, however in another letter dated 12 April, he writes that Carlo d'Ancona and Vicenzo Da Frascati, the Capuchin Fathers, have arrived in Tunis. In the same letter he also writes that Le Vacher has already given him his patent as provicar in Bizerte, for the duration of three years, of which he sents a copy and asks for a confirmation. He also asks PF to prolong his provision of 24 scudi for three years, with another 5 years due to his harsh financial problems. The cardinals agreed to both requests.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 30 May 1672 discussing among other issues, a letter from the vicar apostolic of Algiers [Jean Le Vacher] from 13 November. He requests PF to decide among the following options: a) that the Capuchin Father Luigi Da Palermo be sent back to the mission; b) that the superior general of the Capuchins send another Capuchin; or c) that the Capuchins help the vicar apostolic to ransom another priest who would substitute Luigi Da Palermo. The vicar apostolic thinks that the last option will be easily accepted by the order, because he came to know that the Fathers of Sicily already had money to ransom Luigi Da Palermo (but the vicar apostolic had already ransomed him with his own money). The general procurator of the Capuchins has nominated two candidates to go to that area, Gioseppe [Giuseppe] Maria da Bologna and Francesco d'Arcidosso. In his letter of 23 March, the Minor Observant Elescario Boullard writes that after he arrived in Tunis, the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] wrote to Marcello Costa (a missionary in Tunis), that he should make Boullard leave. This has been confirmed by Leorardo Omodei, the leader of the ransom organisation in Sicily. The cardinals decide to approve the two candidates for the mission proposed by the procurator general and that they should be given missionary faculties. The vicar apostolic and the superiors of the Minor Observants should request that Boullard leaves the mission.

Minutes of PF general congregation of 22 July 1671 discussing among other issues, the Trinitarians and Mercedarians who work in Algiers without a license from the apostolic vicar, Jean Le Vacher. PF secretary [Federico Baldeschi] contacted the two procurator generals of these orders; one responded stating that he did not know anything about such practices among the members of his order. Recently a new Father, Bartolomeo Da Serrano, has been sent to Algiers to work in the hospital. This is a problem, as he does not obey the authority of the vicar apostolic, and administers the sacraments without any legitimate base. Alfonso Velarde (the procurator general of the Mercedarians), insisted that the members of his order do not travel to Tunis, but only to Algiers, Tétouan and Maroc. They do not administer the sacraments in these places, even though they would have the power to do so. The procurator general of the Trinitarians, Domenico Jafurt, said that they received permission to administer the sacraments, and he sent a letter to the provincial superior in Castile for more information. PF decides that the secretary and (probably Cardinal Orsini) should decide to whom they should give the faculties, in accordance with the law.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 10 November 1670 discussing among other issues, letters from the Capuchin Girolamo Da Sassari, (vice prefect to Algiers), the Minor Observant Antonio Di Seravezza (who worked in Algiers without patents of PF), and from others. The summary recounts the following: a) Jean Le Vacher was vicar apostolic in Tunis, until he left the city because of troubles with the consul of France [Jean Ambrozin]; b) Girolamo Da Sassari who was subsequently appointed by PF as vice prefect, had to leave the mission for the same reason; and c) Antonio Di Seravezza continued to live in Tunis, but never wrote to PF. When he did write, his letters were from Marseille, and he signed as vicar apostolic, despite not even being appointed missionary by PF. He wrote to the nuncio complaining about the consul and about Colbert, and the nuncio believed him and tried to remedy the issue. The conclusion from these letters reported on the summary is: 1) that Di Seravezza is dishonest and untrustworthy, and that it is not difficult to remedy this problem; 2) that something should be done about the consul, however this will be more difficult to remedy. The summary also discusses a letter from Girolamo Da Sassari to Antonio Di Seravezza, which includes false information about PF's position on the whole issue, e.g. that PF would have decided that the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] should not interfere in the Tunis mission despite him being granted vicar apostolic of the mission as well. Lastly, a letter is discussed from Antonio Di Seravezza to the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] in which: a) he complains about the consul; b) he reports to have sent Minor Observants to Tripoli, and tjhat he also wants to send others to Tunis; and c) he tells the vicar apostolic not to interfere with the Tunis mission, assuming that PF commissioned this mission to him (although he did not even receive missionary patents). The cardinals decide the following on the whole issue: 1) the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] should be written to regarding information about the consul; 2) the superior of the Minor Observants should recall Antonio Di Seravezza back from the mission; and 3) the patents that Girolamo Da Sassari received should be revoked.

He had previously asked for a bishop for Madagascar, but PF responded that the circumstances there did not allow for it. Instead PF proposed to send a titular bishop with faculties of vicar apostolic. For this function Marshal now proposes three Capuchin candidates. The secretary however mentions that the mission has always been in the hands of CM, and that it would discourage them if a Capuchin would be appointed. The cardinals decide that another candidate should be chosen.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 25 September 1659 discussing among other issues, complaints from the Christian slaves in Tunis, who say that the Muslim slaves (who live on the pope's galleys or lands, as well as those held on Malta), have reported to the divan in Tunis that they were forced to convert to Christianity. In response, the authorities in Tunis threaten to force the Christian slaves in their city to convert to Islam; the Christian slaves in Tunis ask that a solution be found. The vicar apostolic of Tunis [Jean Le Vacher] says that the complaints stem from the fact that in Malta, the Muslim slaves are forced to listen to catechesis on Sundays and on feast days, and if one of the slaves becomes ill, he is handed over to a Christian in order to be converted. According to the apostolic vicar, the ruler of Tunis was ready to retaliate by submitting the Christian slaves to similar treatment; only Le Vacher's promise that he would change the situation in Malta and on the papal lands, convinced him to stop. The vicar suggests that it would be wise to moderate the zeal of the Maltese, because "what is accomplished in Malta by means of persuasion, in Tunis will be done by means of beatings." The cardinals do not make any decision on the matter.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 27 May 1659 discussing among other issues, the case of some secular priests called "I preti della Dottrina Christiana" [the priests of the Christian doctrine]. They would like to receive missionary faculties in order to use them in "heretical areas," when invited by the bishops to teach the doctrine. The nuncio asked for information about their willingness to subordinate themselves to PF, and states that he had talked about this with Vincent de Paul, who has no objection against giving them these faculties; Vincent de Paul believes they are good priests who seem willing to subordinate themselves to PF, and to work in places where they are much needed. The nuncio adds that if PF decides to consent to the request, the cardinals should send him the faculties, so that he can first have the priests declare their loyalty, before giving them the faculties. The cardinals decided to not send general missionary faculties, nor the kind used for religious orders.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 26 April 1689 discussing among other issues, who should be appointed to vicar apostolic in Algiers, now that Michel Monmasson has died. Possible candidates are Francesco Molignano (who was appointed provicar by Michel Monmasson before he died), d'Espinosa (the superior of the Trinitarians in the mission), and Giuseppe Giannola (a missionary in Bizerte, whose work greatly pleased Monmasson when he was still alive). The summary includes the reasonings for the different candidates. The cardinals decide to appoint Giuseppe Giannola as apostolic vicar for three years.
