On Monday last the Rev. Dr. Smith, delivered an animated and
pathetic oration in the German Calvinist Church, in
Philadelphia, in honour of the late General Montgomery, and
the officers who fell with him before Quebec, to a very
crouded assembly, supposed to consist of about four thousand
persons. The following was the order of the procession [8
groups listed] The light infantry and rifle companies went
on one side flanking the procession. 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.
