The Continentals of Brigadier-General Montgomery had settled on the following plan of attack:--Col Livingston, with his three hundred Canadians and Major Brown, was to simulate an attack on the western portion of the walls--Montgomery to come from Holland House down by Wolfe's Cove, creep along the narrow path close to the St. Lawrence and meet Arnold on his way from the General Hospital at the foot of Mountain Hill, and then ascend to Upper Town. The brilliant _fête littéraire_ held by the Literary and Historical Society to commemorate the event was thus noticed in the _Morning Chronicle_ of Dec 30th, 1875: _THE LITERARY AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S CENTENARY FÊTE._ It would be hardly possible to imagine a more graceful or unique gathering than that which assembled in the rooms of the Literary and Historical Society last evening, for the purpose of celebrating with all possible _éclat_ that gloriously memorable event, the repulse of the troops commanded by General Richard Montgomery, of the American Army, whilom officer of the 17th Regiment of Infantry in the service of his Britannic Majesty George III, who on the blusterous wintry morning of the 31st December, 1775, attempted an assault upon the redoubts and fortifications which at that time did the duty of our present Citadel, and whose intrepidity was rewarded with a soldier's death, and his want of success formed the nucleus of the power which is so firmly established in this Royal Canada of ours to day.
