to reject the proposition for universal suffrage, and
were convinced of the necessity of the. establishment

sented. The Councillor LEOPOLD then read the pro-
posal of the Government, to the effect, that there should

elected members, one-third to retire at the end of

main as provided for in the constitution. The mem-
bers of the First Chamber must be 40 years old, and
