To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is highly probable that Ran dolph, who was notoriously impecunious, and known to have used inju rious expedients for replenishing his purse (for which reason Jefferson says in his Anas, 1793, that he advised Washington against appointing him for his successor), made here an experiment upon Fauehet for raising private funds, and that he told a plausible story, either in the hope of imposing upon the French minister s credulity, or to invent a pretext, mutually convenient, for the barter to Fr...ance of his official influence. That the "four men" mentioned in dispatch No. (>, whether created by the imagination of Randolph, or of Fauchet, and whether statesmen or flour contractors, were men of straw, can hardly be doubted. Fauchct s language, and other circusmtances, indicate that the experiment failed, and that bribe-money did not actually pass from a foreign minister to an American Secretary of State, an infamy to which we may hope this Government has never been committed. The secret archives of France, however, can best resolve this problem.
