London, March 21.
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 . .
. [20 lines, Lord North censured the laments, saying] he was
generous, but still he was only a brave, able, humane, and
generous Rebel; and said, that the verse of the Tragedy of
Cato might be applied to him, "Curse on his virtues, they've
undone his country."
