BRUSSELS, Serf. 7.
The King's prodsmedsn ampokis no with the benevolent and ge.
serous Windom of his Mejeaty. Bs dem way thing that is consistent
with the power of esaidtedsoni may, and premises to submit to the
States-Oessral whatever mends that authority : all that it is the province
of the legislature to provide for. He will invite the States-General to
investigate " whether the evils of the country proceed from faults in
the noticed institutions, whether these should be modified, and wipe.
daily whether the relations established by trestles and the fendemental
law between the two great divisions of the state, aught to change their
form and principle for the sake of the general interest of the oom.
musky. Could the Kin do any thing but submit to the
Btates-Benenl the quondam whether there is any reason for
making changes in the hudemental law, end to convoke the
second Chamber with a double number of asembers ? No, he could
not. The Slog, lint of all, la subject to the fundsmental law to which
be hes swan. No cirettmetmices an permit him to withdraw the sr.
tem of administration, judos and finance, width it has established ; ao
dreamiest* whatever coo justify such an act of arbitrary violence ea
his pert. Our fundamental laws has wisely melded for a case of
things—it has even prescribed the forme to be adopted for making such
alterations. Every =Moods; every addition Aided by other means,
or by one of the point's inadtuted by the law, would be odious and ex.
cosies In its nature, and of an illegal cherneter. The articles 22D, 230,
and 232, of the fundamental law, are es

" Art. 210. If it should appear, from experience, that alterations or
additions are necessary in the fundamental law, a law shall designate
them with precision at the name time that It declares the necessity.
" Art. 130. This law is to be referred to the provincial states which
adjoin, in the adjournment which it fixes to the ordinary members of
the Second Chamber of the States-General, an equal number of ex.
traordinary members being chosen in the same manner as the first.
" Art. 232. The Second Chamber of the States-General cannot come
to a resolution upon an attention or addition to the fundamental law,
unless two-thirds of its members are present. The resolutions are to re
agreed to by a majority of three-fourth. of the voters. All the regula.
duos prescribed for the completion of a law are to be strictly adhered to.*
Perhaps it may be asked whether the separation of the two prat di-
visions of the realm coostitutes one at the changes that can only be
effected according to these established forms? Most undoubtedly :to
coolest this truth would be to shut one's eyes to the light of day. But
we do not wish to leave any probable objection unmswerd.—The fist
ankle of the fundamental law designates the 17 provinces, which, ex.
elusively of the grand duchy of Luxembourg, constitute the kingdom of
the Netherlands, the boundaries of which are determined by the treaty
concluded between the power of Europe, assembled at the Caress
of Vienna, and signed on the oth June, 1818.—According to the
terms of the 3d article, not the smallest alteration can take plate
in the limits of this. provinces, unkm by virtue of a law to that
efect.—The 79th article fixes the number of mambas, of which
the Snood Chamber is cocopesd, and determines the number of de.
posies to be sent by each province. The 163 d article declares that there
shall be for the ',hole maks the moo civil, penal, and commercial
code—the same organisation of placid power—the same civil and al.
naiad proceedings. The 902 d ankle enacts, that there shall be for the
mare kingdom one Treasury Chamber. It is evident and incontestable
that the separation of the two peat divisions of the kingdom, with two
chambers foe each—with dkdoet civil, penal, and commercial codes—
with a different organization of judicial power, and dvil and criminal
mooredlngsm..with two Treasury Chambers—with two Isgidedems of
Custunta—with two general modes of administration—it is clear that
each a separation involves each pest changes in the fandamental law.
so entirely overturns the system of it, that it cannot be. effected except
by the concurrence of the three power which the law has in.
sdtuted, and according so the fonts which it has prescribed.
What then, we will ask, Is the duty of all good citizens
Ought it not to be evident to them, that they have only to wait for the
moult of the Royal promises, as well as what may be determined by the
iltates•Oeneral, actually convoked, and what will be determined by the
States-General, composed of a double number of members, if it should
be determined to convoke them ? It is the duty of all good citizens, of
all heads of familles,—dall persons interested in the mum of order, by
their property, their trade, and their Industry,—it is the duty of wok
