It my be sail of nOOa4I'ARTE, as his tyrannical"
predecessor . Richard says of himself in the' Play,
that he has 44 set his life upon a Cast," fsr all -his
fortunes seem to, depend.on the fate of his, WTI; in
Spain. Some of his officers, much yin. they are un-
der the terror of his influence, have expressed an
apprehension that liii; ambition will• be. the ruin of
thern;and hence if there should-be an adverse turn in
his fOrtune, they would probably attempt to precipi-
tate his fall in order to secure themselyes.;As to his
, .
upstart family, all their power would Mmble, at once
to'the ground, in that case, and happy . would they
be if they were not viainas,to that indignation which
the Tyrant has excited alt over the. world, France
not excepted, since her population has been drained
to fight the battles of his ambition, pride, 1:
vanity, and since she is new compelled to seed the
flower of her youth to butcher art independent peo-
ple into slavery.. It is impossible to suppose Such.l3
state of things can last much longer, or that one man
can be permitted to outrage all the ties of-humani-
ty, and treat mankind as if they were made ter his
insolent sport as well as to promote his power. The
Tyrant has grown so wanton with success, that he
seems to think he has 'chained fortune to his car, and
may do as he pleases, without any fear of a reverse
in his affairs; but there must be, a point'in human
sufferance, beyond which destruCtion impends ; and
he has been the source also much -natioual aud pri-
vate misery in other States, that every heart is
against him, and some determined hand
,may be ex-
peeled to put a stop to his *wicked and•calamitous
career. It is not in hUman natere, weishould con-
ceive, to bear much longer the insolence, the arro-
gance, the tetal contempt of every thing like justice
and right, that so shockingly mark his charaCtet and
conduit, particularly as h not any one virtue
which should operate as a restraint upon that Unir.
versal t4irst of vengeance which his enormous and
nutal4erleas iniquities have excited. * , , :'
