SENTATIVES.

" Leopold, King, of the Belgians,
" To all whom these presents shall come, greeting ; on
the report and by the advice of our Council of Ministers;
" Seeing the difficulties which, since the opening of the
present l gislative session, have arisen in the relations of
the Chamber of Representatives with the Administration► ;
" Considering ttat, in consequence of these circum-
stances, our Ministers have, on different occasions, offered
us their resignation, without having succeeded in forming
a new Administration which might present a confidence of
stability ;
" Considering that these difficulties seem to take their
rise in the diversity of opinions with respect to exterior
relations ;

" Considering that since the last general election im-
portant events have taken place, which have contributed
to the strengthening of the independence of Belgium, and
which, therefore, deserve to be submitted to the apprecia-
tion of the country ;
" Considering that, if it be one of the first principles
of representative government, that the Minister should be
in accordance with the Parliamentary majority, it is also
indispensable, to render the administration of affairs pos-
sible, that this majority should not be uncertain, that a
doubtful adhesion to the proceedings of Government, para-
lyses the action of the present Administration, without
offering to the Crown the elements of a new one ;
" Considering that, according to the electoral law, one
half of the Chamber of Representatives is to be renewed
on the second Tuesday of next June; that, according to
articles IS and 54 of the same law, the members who
should be replaced in this partial election, seeing the im-
possibility of closing the session immediately, would con-
tinue to sit to the month of November; that thus, repre-
sentatives whose successors would be.already named
would influence, to the exclusion of these, on the resolu-
tions of the House, and would be able by their vote to
decide the most important questions;
" Considering that the dissolution of the Chamber of
Representatives would obviate this inconvenience, and
assure to the electors, in the place of a partial control, a
general control over the acts of that branch of I,gisiarive
power, and over the proceedings of the Goveaunent ;
"According to the Art. 71 of the constitution, which
states—
" "Ile King has the right to dissolve the Chambers,
either simultaneously or separately. The Act of Dissolu-
tion contains the convocation of the electoral colleges
within forty days, and of the Chambers within two
months :'—
" According to the paragraph of the Art. 51 of the
Constitution, thus worded—' In case of a dissolution, the
Chamber is entirely renewed,'
" We have proclaimed and do proclaim,
" Article 1. The Chamber of Representatives is dis-
,olved.

"Article 2. The electoral colleges of the undersigned
districts are convoked for the 2Sil of May next, to the intent
that each may elect the number determined by the electoral
law, and designated beneath."
[Here follow the names of the provinces and districts,
which, to the English reader, are entirely uninteresting.l
