large ; it is not a head of clay , that wants to domineer over a colossus of gold . That city is not filled with proud and idle men , who only encumber aud oppressa laborious people . It is the resort of all the merchants ; the seat of the national assembly . There the Kirm- ' s palace is neither vast nor empty . He reigns in it by his enlivennV presence . There the senate dictates the laws , agreeably to the sense ofthe people it represents . It neither fears the ofthe monarch
eye , nor the frowns of the ministry .
