After the pillar sitting of the !Rh. instant, the
gain:her of. Deputies went.into a S4ecret Com-
mittee, in Order to discuss the Budget of its ex-
pences.; ‘8•11en one article of that Budget partici!.
lady fixed•its attention. Iu 1614 the Chamber of
Deputies had granted pensions to some old 'm-
ph/es about the LegklAtive Body; and, in the:
of these pensioners were tour Who had
dared to pronounce .sentence of death on their
King. M. de St. Rommin having, in the sittinfo.:
to which we allude, mounted the tribune; react
the votes which these. four old Members of the
Convention had given on the trial of Louis. XVI.:
This reading protinced the strongest impression
a shudderi.ig of horror ran 'through the Whole as.
sembly ; from all sides there was a cry of to the
vote ! and the Chamber, with one 'Accord, rose to
decree that the • four regicides should be erased
from the list of. pensioners.

M. De Vanblanc—l•atn-eltal•ged to regent to
you a plan of law on elect inns. It is of Ow high-
est importance.- The 3 Art.' of the Constita-
tional_Chatter proves that it is inilisitenSably-ne-
cessaryi since accordingto that artide, the orga-
nization of the Electoral Colleges must' be deteriniti -
ed. by law: -

The colleges existing at this moment are very
numerous the title of elector is almost be;:ome a
fixed title. In, the late elections there was a ne-
cessqy for counterpoising, by extraordinary tre4ns
the spirit under the influence of which these qlec.-.
toial Cwlleges had been formed.

Art 37 of the Charter says, " The Deputies
'shell he erected; for five years, and in such way that
one:filth of the Chamber shall be renewed e‘ery
year. Some persons hare understood this article
as meaning that the Deputies, being to be elected
for fivi years, those who are so elected at present
should remain in the exercise of dick functions
for five years. This is dmistake; for if the arti-
cle were so interpreted,- then I,nne would be no-
minated for nine years, Others for eight, seven, or
six years, and the sense of the Charter would not
be executed. Our plan proposes- the renewal of
the Chamber by annual series.
What principle ought we to follow? It is the
principle that ltontesquiru has laid dow'ti " Aft-
powers should be subordinate and dependent.
"
What pow, ris more important than the electoral
power ? What power is there whose exercise
may he more disastrous ? Whit power over which
the Sovereign should exercise a r.reater influence?
Hifil'erto the, electoral power has not been wise_
ly combined. Various uwdea of Organisiug it
