Philadelphia, February 1 . . .On Monday last the Rev. Dr.
Smith delivered an animated and pathetic oration in the
German Calvinist Church, in honour of the late General
Montgomery, and the brave officers who fell with him before
Quebec, to a very crowded assembly, supposed to consist of
about four thousand persons.
. . . [10 lines follow on the procession and ceremony.]
Two of the galleries of the church were filled with the
principal ladies of the city; and several pieces of music
were performed by a number of gentlemen, which added much to
the solemnity.
