Iteinki, and well-governed society is like a pyra-
mid; it rises by a gentle swell, and tapers by easy
and well-proportioned gradations till it forms a '
point. Bat its apex is sappurted by its base, and
it would lose its strength and its beauty. if any
violence were to destroy the intermediate grade-
lions. The people form the base of the social py-
ramid, and though buried in obscurity, and neces-
sarily hidden from sight, they support every thing
which is elegant, illustrious, and noble, in civil
government.
It was the singular character of the French Re-
volntson, that it operated a complete change in the
moral woild ; Ow, by a deluge of fire and sword,
it swept sway all traces and di. t i iiiiiiiiii of the
former br,,tesn of thing.; dud that having destroyed,

Murat, the present King of Naples, and Caroline i

1764. Being aroused of belotiging to that corps
of brigands commanded by the famous captain of
s wigglers, 11 indriti, Nlitrat's father was tried at
Valence, and there broken upon the wheel in May
1769 ; and young Murat was sent to the orolion- :
Ii iuse at Lyons. where he remained, until an actor I

that time hisses pursued him so much whenever he

courage, but talents which nobody supposed him
to possess before the battle of Moitilovi, on the
