HAGUE, AUGUST 26.
M. Dohenze, Minister of the Second Chamber of
the States General, has presented the project of an
Address to his Majesty on au important subject. The
following is an abstract :
A French refugee, of the name of Simon. bad been
arrested by a Magistrate in -the Grand -Duchy of
3.uxernu'frg, in a manner whicit he thOught informal.
and presented a Petition to the Stites General, ii.
kging a rtain articles of the fundamental law, which
be says were violated in his case. “ Individual
liberty," says the Address, Nis guaranteed to every
person in the territory of the kingdrim, by the fourth
Article of the fundamental law,' which is quoted.
“ The members of the States General, on entering
upon their innctions," says the Addreu, take an
oath, in your Majesty's own hands, to observe and
maintain the fundamental law of the kingdom, and
not to consent, upon any occasion, or under any pre.
tekt, that a deviation be made from it. This part of
their oath alone would suffice to impose on them the
duty of remonstrating against any infringement• of 1
the articles of this law. But individual liberty is so
precious a blessing, that the fundamental lsw has
,charged the Slates General to watch over its preserva-
tion by a still more precise clause in their oath. They
sweat to preserve and maintain public and private
-liberty to the utmost of their power. It is this pre-
serving and protecting attribute of the States General
which is now invoked by a foreigner, inhabiting, or
having sought refuge, in one of your Majesty's
peeinc-s."

The Address then proceeds to state the particulars,
as expressed in Mr. Simon's Petition, from which it
appears that various irregularities have taken place,
that he was not informed in time of the reason of his
arrest—that the casiboffiagraat ,icht seems to be ex-
cluded by the certificate of the Mayor, which de•
dares that Mr. Simon has constantly conducted
himself as a peaceable citizen, and conformably to the
laws, eiCe.

46 The States• General tof your kingdom cannot be
indifferent to i complaint of a violation of the funda-
mental law, in the point which interests, and must
deeply interest all those whose rights it guarantees.
" So many Constitutions have keen violated, at
the vcry moment when they were established, by the
silence, the connivance, or the participation of those
Who ought to see to their observance I From this
vat ment it is no longer possible for them to have any
useful influence, t:or to recover in the public opinion
from the contempt which they have incurred. It is
highly important to your Majesty, to the nation, to
all parts of the public service, that the States• General
of the Kingdom should not fall into such an error.
A Nuional Represention which has fallen into con-
tempt cannot be any longer useful, either to the people,
who dis*.: tat it, or to the King, whose intentions
►hose intentions would be rendered liable to suspicion
by its ca•operation."—The Address concludes by
begging that the affair may be examined into.
