His agitation produced the rupture of a blood-veBsel and instantaneous suffocation. The people had dared to regret his fate ; and we may learn their feeling and the tyranny of their rulers, from a de- cree of the council of ten, which forbade them, on pain of death, to speak of the affair of Francesco Foscari.
So much, indeed, had the suspicious temper of the Venetian government increased, that the council of ten now appeared too numerous a body for the purposes of vigiknce, secrecy, and severi...ty ; and by a decree of the great ooaocU in 1464, a perma- nent committee was selected from amoiig4he ten of three inquisitors of state, whose despotic authority was to be paramount over even that of their col- leagues. The inquisitors of state rendered no ac- count whatever of their magistracy. Their public power over the state was unbounded, their secret jurisdiction universal. Their sentences were re- strained by no forms, and their executions so buried in oblivion, that even the blood which they shed was without a trace.
