§.2. Secret plan for rendering the purchase useless.

26 Jany 1802.

Entangled Complicated as your Lordship will find the mass of these
four these congeries of negotiations, each of itself spun out as long
as possible, by itself and all entangled with one
another, you will not find in the whole mass
of them put together, any thing but what
a very moderate share of common sense, accompanied
by a very moderate share of common sincerity and
by a moderate share of activity, would, unless paralysed
by insincerity, have dispatched in
in the course of a few weeks. But this complication,
contrived and studied by those who occasioned caused it, was to
them an infallible and continually encreasing
resource. From misconduct, if uncomplained
of, resulted on each occasion the downfal of the establishment. But
