The New Hampshire Gazette

From BALTIMORE, Dec. 13.

That the armies of our Republican allies are still obtaining triumphs, let yesterday's paper serve to shew that the very name of a Sans Culotte strikes terror and dismay into the hearts of the English and Austrian slaves, let the facility and rapidity of their numberless victories determine.

Their success by sea is no less complete. At the port of Brest, (so say our last advices) there was an incessant influx of captures from the British.—Three prizes and upwards were entered in daily—and, on some days, from ten to twenty.

The unparalleled luxuriance of their harvest affords an abundant supply, provisions plentiful & cheap—the markets of the sea-port towns universally well supplied, and some of them glutted—eight dollars per barrel only given for flour.

From the plentiful manner in which the West India markets are all supplied with American produce, it cannot but appear strange, how it could have risen to such an enormous price with us. Flour, which there sells for but from seven to nine dollars per barrel, brings here, exclusive of freight and insurance, not less than eight.

Whether it has originated from any blind piece of speculation, adopted among ourselves, or whether it be from the amazing influx of foreigners, and the rapid increase of population, cannot easily be determined. But it is expected, from the abundance with which every part is stocked, and from the renewal of the old system of adjudication, that unless the juices of war are quickly opened, in its most destructive forms, American 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 merchants.
