TIE GREEKS.

Letters from Greece, published in the
London papers, affirm that the Greeks
had obtained signal victory over the
Ottomans, and defeated them in des-
perate attempt to take the fort Of Mis-
solungi. The Turks carried the out
works, when they were met by the
brave Greeks with swords and muskets,
aud repulsed with terrible slaughter,
after contest of three hours and with
the loss of upwards of 500 killed, while
the victors suffered only trifling loss.
Missolungi is a strong fortress, and in the
hands Of the patriots, affords great secu-
rity to the Peloponessus and the eastern
and western parts of Greece.

The decision of the Court, in the case of
Mason against the assessors of the toun of
Harrdrd, argued last October, has been com
municated at the present term. Il settles
principles of some Importance to towns. The
action was brought to obtain remedy for the
collection of a tax which the plaintiff alleged
to have been Illegally assessed upon him
The facts, if we have not misunderstood them,
are substantially these THE plaintiff with
others being about TO establish new religious
society, the inhabitants of Harvard, at a town
meeting, held in the latter part of February,
raised, and directed to be Immediately assess
ed, sum of money for the support of pub
lick worship for the nert year-thc taxes nee
essary for the current year having been pre-
viously assessed. The plaintiff resisted the
tax, and his property was Northumberland the
question to be settled was whether the tax
was legal. The Court decided that it was
not only illegal, but most manifestly unjust
unjust, inasmuch as the operation of such a
tax would be, that, while some would be COM
PEELED to pay the taxes of two years in one,
others might be wholly exempt for year.

PUBLICK SCHOOLS.

We are glad that a correspondent has call
ed up the subject of town schools. There is
reason to believe that the laws on this subiec
are not we'll enforced. 1t is a subject in which
the people have deep interest. The wealth
of the State is at the disposal Of the people
for the purpose of educating all our youth,
poor as we'll as rich, in publick schools. And
yet this high privilege seems in many instances
to be regarded as Of little value.

nam's Charge to the Grand Jury, upon the
important subject of education, occupied most

that the Grand Jurors did not request of His
Honor a copy for the press. Will you, Sir,

THE FOREIGN .AEWS.
WEDNESDAY, APRrr. %, 1923.

Arrivals from England, France, and Spain
furnish us with much interesting intelligence
in relation 10 the approaching war. We have
made such selections as are most interesting :
but have not room for many curious details of
the proceedings in the French Chamber of Dep
uties. The expulsion of NJ. Manuel was the
occasion of tumults in the chamber, which A.
mericans are utterly unable to reconcile with
their notions of legislative decorum. The
violence of both parties augurs i'll for the quiet
of France; and foreign war, undertaken
while such excitement exists at home, seems
An act of infatuation on the part of the French
government. 1t is declaration of war a.
gainst themselves; and it is more likely that
another revolution viii take place in France,
than that the Spanish constitution will be o.
verthrown.
Our accounts from Greece are I. few and far
between;n but they are, on the whole, en-
couraging. The Greeks have achieved re-
cent victories, and their ardour seems not at
all diminished.
The designs of Russia, with regard to Tur-
key, are yet uncertain. They who believe
that war win not take place between them,
probably believe, also, that Alexander IS I'm
ambitious.
