ZADA in answer TO HAMAR,
PUBLiSHEDJN THE ORACLE OF NOV. XL
LETOR 11.
July 2oth, 1789.
' HAMAM,
WHILE acknowledging the re
ceipt of your letter of the loth,
permit me to express my furprize at its
contents. A victim is an object devoted
to deftrudion ; you fay that you are
one " to the charms of ZadA.” If so, I
am the most unfortunate- of women, in
cutting off from society, so worthy a
person as Hamar. I cannot forbear
empathizing with you in your calam
ity, and ihall endeavor to avert the im
pending danger.
The promptitude and susceptibility
of the he^rt of men to impremons, such
as you declare to have been made on
lours, cannot be brought under the
denomination of human frailty. When
abthagediy considered, Love is oqe
of the most celestial pillions of the
human heart ; how often it is counter
feited, and the credulous female be
comes the vi&im of the deception, I
leave you to acknowledge. This con-'
federation alone, furnifhes mt with a
resolution never to admit words, how
ever smoothly uttered, or expressions,
however happily united, as tne mea
sure of my belief in the author's sincer
ity. Perhaps it would be injustice to
you, to discredit the truth of your dec
laration; as the sentiments contained in
it, appear to be the refiilt of an invol
untary necessity, to relieve a mind in
flamed by a paflion more ardent in its
operation, than correct in its appointed
pursuit.
The tenets of your religion, and the
Obligation imposed on you to observe
them, are such that with extreme re
luctance would I be the instrument of
their violation. You have declared
your belief in the principles of a Socie
ty, and have acknowledged yourfelf 1
to be one of its members ; as such it
is your duty to obey the laws of its
Government. In desiring the cbmmif
eration of Zada, you claim no more
than a heart susceptible to another's mif
cry can readily grant. Therefore, you
have all that you desire, as a friend,
but, as a lover, a Quaker's heart can
never be congenial with my own. Let
the peaceful (hades of retirement be an
abode for the gloomy religionift, while
his years are numbered, as time by the
horometer, without even the smallest
variation. Such uniformity but ill ac
cords with the desires of one, whose fa
miliar acquaintance with the gay feenes
of polite life, urges her to renewed gra
tification. The field of pleasure has
ever been open to my view ; restraint has
never circumscribed my widest range.
The morning fun has welcomed the
commencement of life with its cheering
rays. I have balked in (lumbering
case on the gilded fofa, surrounded by
the affluence of wealth. The morning
choritter has awakened the inactive
nerve of feasibility, while chanting to
bis mate the heart-felt joys of love..—
The mournful robbin has drawn the
tear of sympathy, while, in song, he
performed the obsequies of his murder
ed fair. 'I have partaken of all the joys
that social life can present, as an obla
tion I have received them, and am not
fatinted.
F Can you, therefore, Hamar, solicit a
facrifice of all these pleasures and a-'
mufements, ofher,who, you fay, is most
favored of your heart ? Can you wilh
her to forego that happiness with which
her whole life has been crowned ? If so,
I (hall doubt of the generosity of your
heart, and conclude that (elf-gratifica
tion is the a&ing principle.
Think not, Hamar, that this routine
of varied amusements, has (in the lead)
diminished my high opinion of that state,
in which domestic happiness can alone
be consummated. Far from th'is are
the ideas of Zada. The refined enjoy
ments of conjugal love, baffles descrip
tion ; it must be left to those whose ex
perience can bed teach them the bliss of
gratification. ZADA.
Mr. MADISON
- Qne of the obfeure Jacobin papers'
fays, Mr. Madison has been Che fubjed
of much “ federal abufe.”—As far as
has come to our knowledge we pro-'
bounce the charge to be falfe. The
Federalists confider Mr. Madison as an
early Federalist ; and as one of the
framers and defenders of that Constitu
tion which they adore ; and notwith
flanding his ceceffion from the Federal
party ; —his retirement from the public
councils—his npftaken calculations re
fpeding the funding system ; and his
local attachments ; they have ever es
teemed him for his honefty,and refped
ed him for his talents. In the Federal
papers he has never been abused ; but
whoever will consult the antifederal
files of 1787, and 1788, will find, that
for the conspicuous and able part he
took in the Convention of Virginia, he
has been the theme of much antifederal
slander, [Boft. Cent.

FORrSMOUrH,
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1801.
We congratulate every friend of hu,
manity on the return ofPeace to exhaust
ed Europe, after the long and bloody
conflicts of ten years war.
From the CENTTN£L.
FURTHER NEWS FROM EUROPE.
0° HAVE been received at Baltimore,
from London, in papers to the tath Oaober—
These papers furnifh the articles of the PRE
LIMINARIES OF PEACE, in an official form,
though not published by authority. We do not
find in them-any thing about the cession to
France " of two thirds es Italy—all Holland, and
a great part of Geamany, as has been exulting!,
published ; nor of “ the restoration to France of
the ihips stolen from Toulon, as affected in the
Chronicle. The English are to give up all the
conquers they have made during the war ,- —
excepting the Dutch possessions in Ceylon, and
the island of Trinidad :—The former valuable
for its productions; the latter as being conti
guous to the Spanish settlements in South-Ame
rica. The Cape of Qood Hope is to be reftor
•d to the Dutch; and to be made a free port,
in which the English and French are to enjo,
equal privilege Portugal is to be reinstated
in its former poff-ffioos. The French are to
' evacuate the territories of Rome, and Naples
• and the English Porto-Ferrajo and the other
posts (he holds in the Mediterrenean. Malta is
to be restored to its ancient Knights ; and Egypt
guaranteed to the Ottoman-Porte —the obje&
the English contemplated in the conquer. The
small Inlands in the Adriatic, which have been
ereded into a Republic by the Ruffians and
Englifh,are to be acknowledged such by France.
It is to bear the name of the Republic of the
Seven United Islands. Corfu, if we mistake
not, is the capital. All prisoners to be mutual
ly set at liberty. The 13th article of these pre
liminaries is the only one of interest to the U
nited States.—lt refpe&s the Newfoundland
fisheries; and it appears that something more
is contemplated by the contrasting powers th an
the restoration of things to the state they flood
in, by the treaty of 1783 ;—what that some
thing will be, may interest those who recolbdl
the difficulty which the American Miniflfen in'
1783 experienced in obtaining the acquicfence
of France to our right to take fifh on the banks
of Newfoundland, &c. It appears by this ar
ticle, that the " two powers reserve to them
selves the right of making, by the defnitroe treaty,
such arrangements as may appear just and recipro
cally ufeful, &c." The article having prcvi
onfly stipulated, that the fisheries shall be rc
placed on the footing they were before the pre
sent war; the additional arrangements contem
plated may effcntially affed the staple commodi
ty of the Northern States.
g, The definitive treaty is to be fettled at
Amiens in France, by Marquis Cornwallis on
the part of England, and it is said, Joseph Bona
parte on the part of France.
g, All the accounts agree, that the English
people were highly pleased with the peace ; and
have teftified their joy by very uncommon de
monstrations.
During the late European war the
English have captured from the pow
ers opposed to her, or destroyed in ac
tion, Eighty-one fail of the line ; —,
Three Fifty-gun (hips ; One hundred
and Eighty-three frigates ; an^ Two
hundred an# Twenty-four (loops of
war, mounting in all, Fourteen Thou
fapd Six Hundred and Ninety guns,
beside 850 privateers. During this time
the British have loft in adion but Five
fail of the line. One Fifty, Eleven fri
gates, and Thirty-Four sloops of war,
mounting One Thousand and Ten guns,
Making a difference in favour of Great
Britain of Four Hundred and Thirty
five ships, and Thirteen Thousand Two
Hundred and Thirty guns—

O.
[g, A letter from a refpedable gentleman
in England, to his friend in Newbury-Port, fays,'
That a loan of Fifty Millions sterling had been
requeued from the people by the British gov
ernment. This may be added to the numerous
cenjedures which are daily made; and in the
manufactory of which nothing is requisite, but
a fertile imagination. It is highl, probable the
loan which Mr. Addington, will make, will be
a large one ; but as it is necessary he Ihould
have the fan a ion of the British Parliament to
that loan; and as, when the above letter was
written, the Parliament had not been in session ;
the writer mightbave put any sum, as well as
the one he did.

1 VENTRILOQUIST.
We understand, that the celebrated European
Ventriloquist, arrived here on Thursday jaft
from Scotland, in the brig jeftinian. The sin
gular powers of persons thus organized, has
;been a theme of converfatiou for a long time a
mong the learned and the inquisitive. He pos
sesses, by nature, the ability of making any ob
ject appear to steak, and of producing answers
from the elotets, &c. of a room. We bear of
but two Ventriloquists, since the woman of
Endor, who is described as having a familiar spi
rit. (PaMadto.]
A fort of Major Gen. Hamilton was
lately (hot in a duel. We (hall give
the particulars of this unfortunate affair
in our next.
WHEN we attend to the observa
tions of the fautors of Godwin's phi
losophy, we are in doubt whether more
to laugh at their ridiculous absurdity,
or to lament their unhappy effect on
weak minds. The following is from
the pen of the enlightened editor of the
National Intelligencer, whose head is
surcharged with plilofophical fogs, and
' profound (hallownefe
European philosophers have told us
" That man, to be free must be virtu
ous"—They have mistaken the cause for.
the effect ; and should have said, " That
to be virtuous he must be free. For if
virtuebe a moral principle, and may
be a free agent, can that be virtue which
. does not flow spontaneously from the
heart ? Can that be virtue, however spe
cious, which slavery compels ? Away
then with the falfe, the dangerous dog
ma, the constant plea of tyrants, and the
perpetual terror of (laves. It is the in
terest of all nations to be virtuous, and
all nations would pursue their interest,
did not political fraud lead them affray.
" Man, to be free, must be virtuous."
IThat is, if you give perfect freedom to
man, and allow him without control or
restraint of law and government, to do
as he pleases, he must firft become vir
tuous. But our Washington Philoso
pher has difeovered that this doftrine is
erroneous, and that the only way to
make man virtuous, is to destroy all res
traints of parental authority, of law and ,
government ; and that if man affs vir
tuously from 'a fear of God, or of law,
he is neither virtuous nor free, in a gen
uine philosophical sense. Away with
the slavery of law and the tyranny of
parental or divine authority : away with
judges, juries and conscience : let us all
be devili(h M'^,fo„ devilifh/ree and~
devilish virtuous. [Balance.
AN honest sailor, a few evenings
since, was fitting in the bar-room ofa
tavern, where a cluster of modern re
formers were contending for the perfeft
equality of mankind. At length Jack
was appealed to for his opinion ; and
was asked by a young upstart if he did
not think that every officer was afervant
to the people. " Faith, I don't know,
(fays Jack) if all are equal affiore, it
must be the fame at sea; and if all are
captains, who the devil will swab decks
and bail the water out of the long-boat.
