BALTIMORE, Dec. 13.
Th A T the armies of Re
-Ipublican allies are Bill obtain
ing triumphs, let yesterday's
paper serve to shew—that the
very name of Sans Culotte
strikes terror and dismay into
the hearts of the English and
Austrian slaves, let the falcity
and rapidity of their number
less victories determine.
Their success by sea is no
less complete. At the port of
Brest, (so fay our last advices)
I there was an iaceffant influx of
; captures from the British.—
I Three prizesand upwards were
fentin daily—and, on some days
from ten to twenty.
F, 'rhe unparralled luxuriance
of their harveiiaffords a^abun
; dant supply, provisions plentiful
and cheap—the markets of the
sea port towns universally well
supplied, and some of them
glutted—eight dollars per bar
rel only given for flour.
From the plentiful manner
in which the Weftindia mar
kets are all supplied with Ame
rican produce, it cannot but
appear Grange how it could
have risen to such an enormous
price with us. Flour, which
there fells for but from fevert
to nine dollars per barrel, brings
here, exclusive of freight and
insurance, not less than eighty
Whether it has originated from
, any blind piece of fpeculaikm,
adopted among ourfelv s, or
whether it be from the amazing
influx of foreigners, and the ra
pid increafc of population, can
not easily be determined. But
it is expected, fron the abun
dance with which every part is
flocked, and from the renewal
of the old fyflem of adjudica
tion, that unless the sluices of
war are quickly opened, in its
most deftruflive forms, Ameri
can produce, particularly flour
must experience a very sudden
fall. In this situation of the
markets, which must Shortly be
fluctuating, prudence should
dictate the conduct that ought
to be observed by our mer
chants.
PHILADELPHIA,Dec. 23.
LAST evening arrived the
brig Mary, Captain Flem
ing from Bourdeaux, which she
left on the 19th of October.
Capt. Fleming was at Paris the
7th, at which time every thing
was tranquil—the people was
highly elated with the success
of their armies, and of their
cruizing ships, who take an a
mazingnumber ofprizes. Pro
visions were in great plenty and
not so high as might be expec
ted. Two divisions of wag
gons, loaded with treasure, un
der an escort of dragoons, ar
rived at Paris while he was
there. The Brest fleet was still
in port.
