And his bigoted daughter-in-law, broke forth with out any restraint, and kept no terms with any antagonist. Riihe Dauphin, if indeed he really differed from his family in pomt of sense, and thus perceived the precipice towards which they were hurrying, was silenced, and borne along by the imperi ous passions of his fanatical consort. Among the old nobility who surrounded the throne, none had the wisdom to discern or the virtue to point out the perils which beset it. The priests ruled supreme over the monarch, or divided their dominion with the Dauphiness. Nor had they the sense to see, in their thirst for revenge, that the impetuosity of the pursuit might frustrate the attainment of their object. One or two military men, of Na poleon's school, were in some credit with the court; but their habitual disregard of the people, and confidence in the steadiness of the army, made them the worst of all advisers, while they gave encouragement to those who looked for their services, as tools at once unprincipled and submissive.
