"At the moment at which a new policy is about to. •

general basis on which .
the Cabinet is constituted. At the head of its political
programme the Ministry desiee lay
sto down inexplicit
terms the principle of the inde endenceof the civil power
p
in all its degrees. The state is laic, and it isimportant to
conserve to it clearly and firmly tha • charac!er, and to
disengage in that respect the action of ;he Government
e .
wherever it may
be embarrassed. On the- other hand, it
is important that there shall be a sincere respect fo.r faith
and dogmas, protection for the practices of reliktion!
order, justice, and benevolence 'for the ministers of
religion acting in the circle of their religious neje,-
sion. This double principle, in harmony with the
spirit of our constitution, forms the essential basis,
and, as it were, the starting point of the new Admi-
nistration. It will receive its application in eel I. gis-
tive and administrative Acts in which it may appear, -
and particularly in the matter of public inetructio

The members of the Cabinet are equally age eed

solved to bring before the Chambers Jury d'eseatnen

of this faculty, reStr ed to exceptional cases, and oniy
having for its obPct an administrative and not politioal
interest, the opinion of the deputation -here becomes is
rule of good administration. 4. The adjunction of the'
capacities to the electoral lists also enters into the
views of the new Cabinet. • It is understood that -
this can only refer to capacities offfcially recognised
or bructEes. They would be borrowed from the Hats
of the jury. With the composition 6f the Chambers
such as the elections of Bth June have made in,
with the firm principles and upright inten:iohs
which the new administration entertains, with ttla
sincere and solid support which is promised to it by thee.
Crown, a serious and permanent conflict between the
ministry and one or the other Chamber does not appear
to be feared," and the harmony between the gresst powers
of the State will not be troubled. If the Government
attaches a high importance to the development ©f a:. poll.
tical and national spirit, if it desires to maintain their
elevated rank to intellectual and moral interests, it is
not let's penetrated with the great part which mate'
ial
interests must take in Belgian- policy. These interests
demand that security and stability shall flourish..
The Cabinet will tecupy 'itself incessantly with the,
means calculated. to` goarantee, to conciliate, to deve-
lope the different elements of public prosperity. The
financial situation of the country will first of all- call
for the attention of the Ministry. It is resolved
to assure and maintain the equilibrium of the bud-
gets. The• Cabinet will not throw perturbation into- oar
system of political economy by inopportune changes' in
the customs laws. It will oppose as a general rule, new
aggravations of tariffs, and will endeavour to establish a
liberal system with respect to food. The law of 1834,
relative to corn, will not be re-established. We will not
cause the safety of agriculture to consist in the sliding'
scale for in heavy duties. It must have a more egieatheus
protection. This protection it shall have. AgrieSultural
industry marches at the head of all others b.„v the'
diversity of its labours, and the immense utility of itae
products. It has a right to count on the active
persevering solicitude of the- Government. -Animaee d
by a sentiment of distributive justice for all the in-
terests, and all the classes of society, the Cabinet bee,•
ieves that the attention and action of th•J Govern-
ment ought particularly to be devoted to the material.
and moral .welfare of the necessitous and labouring'
classes. In this respect the situation of the Flemish-
people must occupy the first place in its deliberations
and its acts. It is not possible to view with indiffer-
ence the distressin which several districts of these pro-
vinces, formerly so flourishing, have fallen. Thee must
be raised from this state of decadence, for the honour
of Flanders, t'or the honour of the country and the Go-
vernment. The country desires, and we desire for it,
order and calm, with the free practice, and the wise de-
velopment of our institutions. Far from us the thought
of a reactionary administration, narrowly partial. We
desire that it shall be benevolent and just for all, with-
out distinction of political opinion: If we exact from
functionaries the rigid accomplishment of their adminis-
trative duties; we will see their rights guaranteed and
respected. Capacity, probity, devotedness to their
duties, will always be for them the best titles of recom-
mendation to the favour of the Government. A feeble
and uncertain administration Would be fatal to the:
country. Every good citizen demands that the adminis-
tration shall be strong and stable. The Government
must' find this strength. and stability, as was said
at a previous period, in a perfect unity of views
and conduct, in its moderation, in its impartiality, in
a firm and upright system,- in its sincere respect for all
the generous. principles of our constitution, in its pro-
found' devotedness to the King and nationality. A.
Government which should not possess the frank co-
operation of its agents could not hope to do good, or to
repress evil in all the extent of its dustier an
responsibility. Such are the principles, such the dof its
inten-
tions of the new Administration. Animated by a strong
desire to see the country march in the path of wise and
true progress, it has not the pretension to repair all; to
improve all, to change all. it knows that reforms have ,
no chance of life and duration except on the condition
of having been enlightened by study, and ripened by
experience. Time and measure are necessary to them..
The mission that we undertake is surroundedby present
difficulties._ Others may be foreseen in the future. /These
difficulties will not cause us to retreat. Shall we triumph
over them? There would be presumption ipromising
it. We dare only answer for one thing, a t_it.t a
sincere and indefatigable devotedness to the general in-
terests of the country. May all men of good hearts,
experience, and goodwill, come to our aid for the accom-
plishment of our task!"
