MUSEUM, January sth. 1794.
Mr. F*nno,
FEELING myfelf happy in being the instrument
of relieving the diftrefTes of the. unfortunate, I with .
heirt felt pleasure inform the citizens of Philadelphia,
1 th* 1 have already received from the sale of tickets or. I m
Wc lnefday, the sum of one hundred and forty four of
dollars, which 1 have del verd to the poll master gen- r
eral, so tranl'mifiian \o the fufTerers by fire at Savan- j.
nah. .
By a little labour, I have bought fom.e knowledge
of human nature, in several inftanees, such as I shall ar
remember with pleasure.' To enumerite every trait of
liberality is unneceflary; fuffice it t# fav,, that many Oi
contributed in a very becoming manner—And here, I
present my grateful thanks to my fellow ci lzens j c!
whs have enabled me to become one of th- ir agents,
in an of humanity, and especially I am thankful
to tiiofe printers who have generously published my ad
▼eriifement on this occasion without charge. Sir, !l
your publishing this, with the annexed anecdote, will
oblige C. V. PEALE. if
A middle aged woman with modest address, ap- p
proached the mufeurn door ; her dress bespoke that her a|
wants we; e fuppiied by industry ; at that momenta
small company came forward presenting their tickets
for aitmiffion. The good woman wilhod to let them n
pafli, and then most courteoully demanded, what was ''
t the price of entrance ? only one quarter of a dollar— p
here said fte, holding out her hand, with twoquarters ; t<
Itismy mite, and was turning away. But, madam, j,
won't you vi k into the museum now, Ihe re- •
plyed, theit is company enough there without me and
I will find a quarter to pay for feeing it fame other •
day, and retired uttering pathetic benediAions, 11
NEW THEATRE. v
One who saw Mr. Cooper s Penruddock on "
Wednesday evening, observes, lhat no adtor has gi- c
Ten him so great fatisfaftion or appears to po(Tefs 1
powers that encourage so fair a hope of his being F
pre-eminently the fii It in his art. This .opinion is
so jnded on his being very young and Hill far from r
perfect in his acting. 3
Hiepowtrof exprefiing paflion and its changes f
bv his face and the fl sibility nnd enetgy of his f
r tones are really hne. Let him bevrare both of cen- '■
sure and praise. Some blamed him because he flag'd '
and feli off in spirit after some time. The truth is, 1
«n the judgment of one at least, he rattled too much. s
Ovtr-aSiing is the fault of-this flage and probably 1
of molt others. 1
PANTHEON.
(
PONEY RACES. i
The estimation in which the Poney Races are held
is not unworthy of notice. It is truly wonderful to
■ observe- with what emulation these little crcatttres, as
well as their riders, firive to attain the pre-eminence ;
particularly the le»ft Poney Boxer (who generally
•wins the race) discovers a degree of fagacify and f ift- >
ness that are altogether uncommon —In (hort, to the 1
lovers of horfemanlhip this mull be a very agreeable
treat. The circle, in conjundlion with the tlage, is
I formed into a jace-courf in miniature, and is well ,
regulated. We trust that Mr Ricketts will ever enjoy
that degree of public patronage which he has hitherto
merited.
COMMUNICATIONS.
Thitaufttf Republicanism.
Democrats, if now you hear half as much as
you hl*e said on this fubje<3, you will be very wea
ry, and very angry. But be patient, you have
* had your day.
You swear to a man that France renounces forer
rer the unjust and abominable doßrine of meddling
with other governments. 1 his is not true, for j
Gfegoirc in hisreport fays the rights and duties of
rations (which he had made an enumeration of) re- j
late only to those nations which have made liberty
and equality the basis of their governments. The j
French of couife are the judges. f
' But if it were so, which it is not. how could the
taufe of Rcpablicanifm depend on the French I A
poor dependence if the wild, inconsistent and wick
ed a<3s of the French fattier,s could affect that
- good cause. They may iofult, they may disgrace
it. It is not tin it affair to save it, or to exemplify
it by their doings. No good Republican will pre
tend it.
This is one of the thouland and one Democratic
lies and inconsistencies.
But admit the fa<3, that the cause of republica
nism depends on the French. Then they serve it
badly. Are the people of Sardinia made republi
fcans, the Pftiffians, the Germans ? No, no, no,
tier the Spaniards. The French by treaty give a
fanßion to monarchy. Probably they agreed wi-h
i Fruffia that if he would quit the Coaliti»n he should
keep his share of plundered Poland.
, The world will be left just as monarchial as e
ver. Let them not boast of Holland. It is a
French province. But the Stadthol'-.er was a mere
Shadow of the Executive power before he fled.
Let us be undeceived, though it will be a year ,
or two later than the reft of'the world. Their
victories may conduct their armies to galleries of
piilures and to rich cities. There they may load
mavy waggons with plunder. But as to princi
ples, Tippoo,Saib advances them as much, and
difgr,aces there less.
Let -fafls it lift open the eyes of those second
fightedj dupes who saw, and swore that they saw.
a new republican millenium beginning in Europe.
They Jaw "the Ba'a-tail'd mare" "go up. into
the air."

Letters from Bruffelsof the Bth inft. state, that
:he greaieft ferment prevails throughout the Bulgic
provinces, especially in Biaban , where infurreftions
are every where app r ehended. The ecclrfiaftical
property is about to be seized by the French com
missioners ; but the people, strongly bjgotted to
their miniftein, and their religion, seem, in several
parts, disposed to refilt the confifcation by open
torce, in which they are encouiaged Jby the emi
grants and refia&ory nonjuing pnells. The ma
jor part of the people of propeity, iiy every part

sent, their effects to foreign countries.
Letters from Berlin of the nth inft. bring ad

' The following is 'extradled from Perlet's journal
: at the article Roederer.
f Shall we have peace, or fltall we continue the
" war? this is the general anxiery at present—Does
England ieally wish for peace ? Does Aurtria desire
■ it ? Such are the enquiries of fome-. Does the
French government wish for it themfelres !' are the
" enquiries of others—-for my part, 1 reduce a l! the
' above queftiona or enquiries to this single one ;
" Can the French government continue Ihe -war f If
» this queilion be answered in the affirmative, they
u *ri!l wilh. for peace, England also as well as »he
emperor. If they are unable to continue the war,
they will wish to continue it, England also as well
3s the emperor. C#e half at least, of what 1 just I
advanced, is I think very intelligent to every body
a What may not be fd, is, that it being in the pow
e. er of the Fr'ench government to carry on the war
m;:y wish for peace, and may not wish for peace if
it cannot carry on the war—l will therefore proceed

d S I RASBOURG, 17 Vendemaire. |
i- The Auffrijns flill continue their incursions on the
it! 1, ft bank of the Rhine. The large body of the ene
my who have marched towards Germefeeim have for
-1(] ted the country people in the environs of Hirxhem and
of all the neighbouring townships Jo deflroy ibe en-
' trenchrcents which the French had eftablifhei there be
fore. A detachment of ijo horse went afterwards to
to Lauterbourgh with a design to take pofTefTion of two
coufiderable magazines of grain and hay. They had
llready.begaa t« force the inkabitanti te fjpply them
with horses and waggons to tarry off their booty,
when the troops who had marched from here to meet
tliem arrived at Lautirb«urgh, and drove them frbm bo
ihence. The hay remained whole, but the enemy car- in;
ried oft three hundred quintals ps corn. They did not
lay the town under contribution but contented thctn- in]
salves with exaftng a certain quantity of brandy for bu
each of them. This party was commanded by a man fui
who spoke the French language very well, an' who
is said to be an emigrant from Mentz. La!l night, wi
another strong detachment from the enemy appeared ag
in. the neighbourhood of Wanzeneau, but they took
to flight the moment they discovered the republicans ro;
marching towards them.
The municipal adrmtiiftrators of Lauterburgl) till
and WifTemburgh, took to flight at the approach u>
of the enemy, and are fafely arrived in this town,
but the carriage which was transporting the papers
of tlie juflioe of the peace |f Wiflembutgh, tho'
escorted by the gendarmerie, was plundered of af
fignats ovd mand'ats, by the peaf<)nu, between
WilTemburgh and Ssltz.
P S. We at this moment have received the molt
pleasing i-itelligence 'from the army of Moreau.
O:/ the loth and I Ith, the enemy have been mod
completely beaten. It was on. Gen. Latour the
principal advantage was obtained. The firft tnef
fenger who was difpatch'ed with that important Be
news, wis afTaflloated on his way, which is the
cause that it-did not reach its sooner. ~

A letter of General Moreau, dated Odt.s.
After describing long marches, fays:
' "Thus, an army of which the enemy boasted he
would certainly make pfifoners, now threaten* him
e with an attack, ai:d returns to cover the frontiers, as
s ter a match of too leagues without >he least lofi; dtir- j

II An artii le dated Leipfic, OA. aa, fays—" Rum
ours of a peace between the Emperor and the French
Republic, grow daily stronger; and upon good
lie grounds it is supposed that the Cabinet of Berlin is ve
e- ry instrumental in the business."
t- The Armistice between the Pope and the French re
