In the debate which arose in the Committee of Supply last Monday night, on the estimate of the army extraordinaries, the death of the gallant General MONTGOMERY was lamented in strains of the most pathetic eloquence that ever were heard in the House of Commons.
Three of the principal orators, Mr. Burke, Mr. Fox, and Colonel Barre, distinguished themselves on the occasion, and vied with each other in the panegyric of that hero. General Burgoyne, though he expressed no sorrow, when they were thus praised, wept, and honoured by the House, did justice to his merits; and said, that all his virtues were abundantly rewarded, strong zeal against the American cause, in a very handsome manner to the house he loved.
