The Prffamble of tbe Declaration eftablifhing the 6 Councils imports, that the Regent was of Opinion, that for futtaining the Weight of the Regenc. y, it was txpe- dient to eftablifh at fivft feveral particular Ccuncils, in which the principal Matters requiring the immediate Care of the Sovereign may be difcuffed and regulated, in order to an ultimate Decifion in the Council of the Regency.

That ... - . — - this Eftablilhmeat of different Council! for different Bulinefs is not a Novelty, the like being prnflifed with Succefs is other Kingdoms, and having been ufed even in France during the Reigns of feveral Kings.
