The Provincial States will lay itt the foot of the Throne the exiiression of their wants, the wishes of Four soltiet ts (151). .11:erttvil wall e•ve•ry thing relative to the internal etsoitomy of the Proviiire, they make, with the oi l mil Patio'', such regulations and onlinances u• they shall itece.sary (146).

None of the branches of the Provincial Admi nistration molt be foreign to the States; lint, as it is of importance Ow:. the Members should be sufficiently numerous, they cannot he always as sembled to exercise that part of their authority which requires daily duties and incessant care, they matte from ainibrig their own body a permanent de putation. which gives them an account of its la boors (143). The States and this Deputation is pre..ided by a Commission named bv the King, who watches over the Interest of the Province, on those of the Government, and the execution of the laws (137). By him the Supreme Head of the Manilla tratioti will be informed of all that may descrve his sol•citnde ; this offieerlll thus, by eitplaining the tette in.itives of various dispositions, the intention of which ini 4 ht lie n►i.takeu, beeituie a very useful bond of union between the Ministers of the Kiug and the Provincial States. The fir►t fundamental law did not fix the com position of the States; it has hee;i determined since by regulations,. made in each province, winch have received your Majesty's sanction. They recal - the ancient institutions of Holland, Hod have nothing contrary La thit.e of Belgium. We have thought it advisable to insert, in the fundamental law -it self. the composition of the States (09). 'l'h, nobility, which may or may not be united • . • au equestriaii body, the clues, aim the country, take a share in the proviiicial administration, ill proportiiiiiii ears according to the circumstance* of each province (131).

We propane to consider, after the lapse of tins years, as definitive, and as snaking a part of the fund:mental law, the timimoitiow, of the statutes emanating front your 31ajesty, or 441,.. proved by you, relative to the right of electing the member* of the several colleges (asseuilblies), and the right of sitting in them—that is to say, the exerctee of political rights . (7). It is to the Provincial Stales that the project which we lay before your Majesty gives the elec tion of the !later General. An electoral body be ing already formed of snembere elected, either di rectly or indirectly, by the nation, .it was super fluous to or..._ntitise any other. This le, beside.. enters into the general system of the Constitution. which makes all powers emanate from reels ot her— deseentling. withost the ineonveitience of popular elections, to those classes of society which bear but a smell part in the burdens of the States, yet, having MI interest to definel, have a right to be represent ed.—(l:33, 134). The her of Deputies to be sent by each pro vince to the States General has been subject ro some ilifferesice of opinion—some Slentlwrs thought that the most just and simple prnfart . Plau sible reasons and numerous etramples were not wanting to support this opiwon ; these reasons have heels confuted, the justness of the application of these examples to the ui i i aaaa of our provinves has Leven disputed. 111111 It lets been tiletereed, that the Colonies, which nektiowledge the Northern Pia vinees as. their mother coutitry, the intieirtaiwe of their rotunserce, and the malty millions of iuhahi tants sislijeet to the laws of Ilse metropolis. dad not permit the adoption of the European popitlatiou as the oily hasisof repreventaiMii; that the only means of establishing perfectly awl for ever an intimate and sincere lotion between the two countries was to give rash un equal representation. The majority aces led to this opi Mon. The present number al Deputies. sent by the Northern Pmvineet, remains unchanged. That oil the Southern Provinces has been regu lated in nit equitable manner, paying particular at teution to their population, and to tile proportional l a y of Deputies by winch they have been al ready represented (79). But there it it part of the States Getierel, which. we have thought, ought nut to he subjected to u periimbeal election. The great increase which the State has reverted, the tank it assUIIII•vf 111110114 the pillion , ' of Europe, and the diversity of the elements of which it is eoilioosest, its more complicated inte rests have imposed it upon us u duty nut to disdain the lessons of experience. We have thought that to hinder precipitation in ate deliberations, to oppose in difficult times a hairier to the passions, to surround the ihroue with a liiilwark winch may baffle tlie attempts of lac -603, to give the uatiou a perfect gituritutee agninst all arbitrary extension or power, it was expedient, after the exainple of powerful kingdoms and flourishing republics; to divide the Representatives of the nation► into two Chambers. ru effect this division, we have not adopted reign institotions, which might not well iiinslga- . mate with onr national institntions. We % have sought the principles of this division in the spirit which induced its adoption. Created particularly to hinder what error or parsion 'okay have advised, thili part of the States General has on right to snake any proposition to the Kin purely passive, it rejects or adopt's the propositions that are laid be fore it. 'Prudence and wis:lnin are the chief req uisi tes in its members. The projet requires, that they shall be At least 40 years old. They would not afford the whole guarantee that is hoped for, if they had not the greatest interest in the national welfare.. They are, therefore, chosen et moux the persona most distingitishwd by their services, their birth, or their fortune (w 0)". • There are few things which men defend better than their personal consideration, the remembrance and the recompence of their servieas. . Those must. he cordially attached to their country, who derive the respect sliewn to them from a mune which, their ancestors have rendered illustrious in its service. _ The possessors of a large fo'..-titise vested in land, lent to the State, or usefully' employed in sup porting the national commerce, will carefully watch that mine of these sources of public wraith inky not he obstructed or dried up. They would tint be sillficiently independent, if they were liable to be removed. We ',foliose to nominate then, for life. nunsinfition must belong to the King. The spirit of a Monarchical ( hiverninent prescribes it,— The interest of the nation demands it. Ties I:reros t l ative will give the Sovereign on influence over the higher classes of society, which will he useful to all. it has heet, the constant rule of our contlitet, the lliiioluhlegnilleofour labours, to being our institu tions to .the essence of a limited monarchy. The King proposes to the 'Chamber doled by the Provincial States, the projects of laws whirl' have been deliberated upon iu Ins Council of Suite (106). . . _ _ This Chamber examines them, and having adopt ed them, sends them to the other *Chamber, which has to examine them in the tame summer ( inq), The Chamber whose Members are chosen for life, receives and discusses the propositions which the other thiuks it proper to tinikce ltethe King.— It never makes any itself (114 mut 115). . if it adopts the proposition, it transmits it to the King, elm gives or refuses h;4 s anction (I'6). By but adopting it, will, for the most part, only save the King from exercising not roily a accessary, bat inclisiwtectible right; I %illicit, if too often repeated, might ‘vcalteti that reciprocal ethifidence useful to the 'Nlimarch, and so liortunate Mr the people. in every ease the law is the result of the assent of the King, and of the too Chambers (119.) In most of our provinces, usitl especially in the northern ones, a great proportion of the inhabi tants took port in the direction of 'affairs, by the effect of the organization of the public aothonties, and this participa kept alive public spirit. which ;. most isn't. full spring of Representative Gd yen 111 l ents. The Government finds itself much stronger—it is much better obeyed when it makes known to the nation the motives of its determinations, the objects of the sacrifices which it imposes, and of the efforts which it rommatals. Itement exanitiles prove what vast resources arise to Goveroment where the whole people tiidlaiv, from convictiou, the grand mea sures it adopts. IVe Itcafe thought that, to. preserve this precioto advaiitage, it was necessary La resider the sitting of the States General public, restraiaitig however this publicity within the limits which nay prevent the abuse of it, and remove all kinds of clattger (108). To develope the motives of the projects of laws, to nuke the views of Government known and ap preciated, to facilitate useful modificatimis, the heads of the depurtidents of the administra tion shall enter both the Chandlers of the States (:Matral. BM this right, whidi is granted them to inform the Ikssemblv, does not give them di; right ofvotitig upon file rt%ttoliditais whieli it is to take (91). We have inserted, in the Ilitichtittental law, some disprisitions concerning the tit 9 11l er of deliberating. which inay appear (h be mere . . regulations. They deserve the. importance which we attach to them, froth the advantage they offer of intiltiplying mid 'facilitating the relations between the metulter. elected by the different provinces, of milking all well acquainted with the motives of time propositimes. and with eves, the most delicate considerations which may induce their adoption or rejection.— (107 and 111.) It is 1160 with u desire to kepi) up a perfect ltar loony, that we have subjected to cert/till forms the relstiolis of the twoChassiber. with each other, and their conimunieatious with the Government,— (109, &c.)

Such, Sire, are the basis of u system of laws, which, matured in ytinr Commit, and submitted to the of the States Geiwral, will be a new benefit cotiferretlmo your petiole. We have arlopteol also all the principles laid down by the float law, for the defence of the State. A permatielit :u•amy will he as it were the advanced guard of the nation (204). A militia, wisely organised, will always he ready to fly to the detente of the country .(206 and W.) ' The nation, wholly included in the guards of the consminses, will dcfesid, in a Man, if necessary, its liberty and its independence (213). Some parts of the laws lately adopted for the militia have appeared to us proper to be included in the I' lamental law, became they guarantee to the State services which it has.a right to slain), and to families fixed and invariable roles, uosuseeptible of nay arbitrary or conaideralde extension. speaking of the sacred duty of defending the country, we have called to MUM two celebrated epochs of nor history—the irteification of Ghent, whirls preceded the unhappy separation of the Seressteen United Provinces—and the I . :Lim' of Utrecht, 11w basis of the national independence, the source of se much glory and isrosperity (203). One day our descendants aill reral with just. pride these memorable days in which the Dutch and the Belgism, before they were formed into one nation, but already united together by the bowls of esteem and fraternity, have, under the standards of your valiant sons i rivalled the bravest on the hauls of t lw Somber and on the plaints of Waterloo— those slays when, worthy to light under Princes of the 'loose of Nassau, they have acquired the es teem of your Allies, some glory and laurels, which are pledges of the intrepidity with . which they will at ali times defend their country, their king, and a social compact formed under such happy an-, spices. The independence of a nation worthy to he free, governed by a family in which prodence and valour are handed shown from father to son, will be respected by its neighbours. The Primes of your !louse will exercise with pru dence the right of inakiii; war stud peace, which is inherent in a well constituted monarchy. We have not restricted it ; lint we venture to say to your Majesty, that while we were 'employed in settling the. iserogatives of the crown, we never forgot how much you have at heart the !amity and the rights of the maims. We think that the project of the fundamental law gives to the Crown all the power which the es settee of a Mossurellical Goverumeid, the extent of the terrisory, and au :olive and safe protection of every right, of every interest, may render desirable ; and that its duty fixes the limits which your Ma jest). would yourself wish to set to the authority of a Monarch, who, in the lapse of tittle, might nut re aemble trop.

The transmission of the Crown us this illustrious family has been regulated by the ronventhass which have pacified Europe. In isiseribing it in the fun damental law, we have added to it 4 the necessary de veliolements to prevent in all eases sill doubts and interpretations winds have*sometinses cost a nation in, dear.—Several religious consintinities have been attracted to Hollaud by the mildness of its laws, 311111 by the protection which the Government afforded tlwin.—This protect will remain the same (191). The law might have stopped there, and have left to your Majesty the care of proving how great is oar rare for the Aliisisters of Religious; but it sceaued to us that the fundamental law might make it a duty for your successors to take your uoble ' seidistients for the rule of their conduct (193), and contain, besides, the assurances that nu form of wor ship shall ever trouble the liberty of the rest, sill bring equally guaranteed by the laws oftthe State (194). IVe think, Sire, that a constitutional law, which constitutes ail legitinia;e rights, whose principles are derived 11tom the manners and character of the na tion, may hope for a longer duration than one founded upon mere theory. hit time changes and modifies every t * g, and a me:ow-of revision, mit foreseen nor fixed at a certain periosi, hilt possible if the heces.sity of souse changes slllitlid he strongly felt, seemed to us useful if attemkit ..th Gauss that prevent or check all spi rit of innovation (.229, 23:1.
