~ WE. have received n communicate
on from Hanover, under the signature of
"LEoNIDAs," which recommends an alli-
ance with Great-Britain, against France
and Spain. Although this article is writ
ten in 4 stile against which there is no OBJ
lection, yet we differ so widely with the
writer in the objects he recommends, that
We must decline the publication. F
Already two essays in the same spirit,
from the same county, under the signature
of "ALcIpIhDEs," have been published,
one III the Enquirer, AMI the other in the
I'm .artial Observer-so that the attention
OF the public has been sufficiently drawn to
the subject. We are not only entirely op-
posed to the project, believing it to be the
TRUE policy of these United States, to re-
main at peace with the whole world, as
heretofore, but TT this time cannot discover
any reason for entering into a dispute,
much less to form an alliance, for military
PURPOSES, against France.
We have reason to believe. from a view
OF the public prints, that our Northern and
Eastern friends, entertain IN opinion, that
at this time, there is powerful party a.
mong the Republicans Of Virginia, who wish
toentcrinto sucha alliance-and it neither
suits the pursuits Of the Argus, or the SEN
timents of the Editor, to give strength to
that opinion So far from it, we can as
sure our readers that the advocates for
these opinions are not numerous-inlecd
l. is our most deliberate conviction that
there arc not ten republicans in the state
who will avow such sentiments-nor are
they likclv to gain many proselytes-at
least we hope not.

MENTOR.

The Importance OF the life and public SER
vices Of President Jefferson is now evident
'ly feit.-His friends, who always knew,
what his enemies seem willing at present
TO concede to him, that he has an uncom-
mon share of real patriotism, are fully per-
suaded that he would Willingly retire from
public life. They know that from the be-
ginning he resisted the thoughts of long con-
tinuance in the Office. But conscious of
their strength in his strength, they are dis
posed to resist his convictions upon the same
principles on which he first admitted them,
from q regard to the public good. Al OPT
mons must be judged in the circumstances
in which they are found-Says Repubi-
can. "We have a right to demand these
services" Our Philadelphia brethren have
given US good example, in addressing the
President and requesting him to admit a.

commercial relations, to have with them as
little political connection as possible. So
far as we have already formed engage

faith.--Here let us stat. Europe has set
of primary interests, which to us have none
or a very remote relation. Hence she must
be engaged in frequent controversies, the
causes Of which are essentially foreign to
our concerns. Hence therefore, il must be
unwise in us toimplicate ourselves by arti-
iicial ties i'll the ordinary vicissitudes of
her politics, or the ordinary combinations
and collisions of her friendship or enmitics
Our detached and distant situation invites
and enables us topursue different course
If we remain one people, under an effci-

when we may defy material injury from
external annoyance; when we may take
such an attitude as will cause the neutraIi-

scrupnlous!y respected; when beliigercnt
nations, under the impossibiity Of making
acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard
