sented. The Councillor LSOPOLD then read the pro-
posal of the Government, to the effect, that there should
be two chambers, the First Chamber to be composed
of the elder:princes of the Royal Family and of 43
elected members, one-third to retire at the end of
three years, The above to be elected by the inhabit-
ants the most highly taxed in Stutgardt and other
districts. The nobles will be excluded from the
Second Chamber, the composition of which is to re-
main as provided for in the constitution. The mem-
bers of the First Chamber must be 40 years old, and

initiate legislation. The KING to have the power of
dissolution, but to summon a new Parliament within
six months.
