On Friday last, at the invitation of the Govern
ment of this state, the Count D'Eftaing and .his offi
cers dined at Faneul Hall, with the Honorable Coun
cil and House of Representatives, the Continental
military officers in the land and sea service the gen
tlemen of the civil and ecclesiastical order, and a
great number of other gentlemen it is thought not
less than 400, were seated at once at the several ta
bles in the Hall. The entertainment was plenteous
and splendid.
Last Monday the Honorable John Temple. Esq;
came to town from England, by the way of New-
York, after an absence of eight years.. Hi sfamily
returned from England with him The peop'e'of
Bolton are no strangers to the miniflerial perfecutiea
excited again I this Gentleman by Governor Ber
nard, Governor Hutchinfen, and the Commissioners
of the Customs, (of which he was one) for his refa
fal to join with them in their execrable measures for
enslaving this country. His conduct and (offerings
have demonflrated that he went from hence, a true
friend to America ; and we have the highest reason
to think he has returned so. On his arrival here,
he waited on the Honorable Council of this S ate,
who were pleased, after hearing and interrogating
him to express their intire fatisfa&ion at his return.

Brest 29 b July, 1778.
The Arrphicn returned here on the 28 h at 4 o'-
clock, having fired 22 broadsides in the engagement,
and reports as follows:
O N the 27th, at eleven in the forenoon, the F.nfo
lilh fleet having come up with our's the combat
began: at four in the afternoon the Araphipa
loft fight of the fleet, having had her bowsprit,
mizzen mast and rudder carried away, and being
otherwise much damaged. She had 11 men killed
and 22 wounded, being no longer able to work, she
retired. M. Sillard commander of the Reflechi re
turned in the evening of the 28th, and brought no
further account, but only that his own ffiip having
been roughly handled, he had been ohh ed to re
turn ; the number ofkilled and wounded in this ves
sel was inconfidcrable
This morning, (29th) signals were made for all the
fleet being in fight. At night the Sphinx entered
the harbour towed by a frigate Many ih-ps and
frigates soon followed. At three in the afternoon,
all the fleet returned except the Due de Burgoyne
and the Alexander, wh ch had been separated fto^.
the fleet by a gale of wind and a thick fog the even

bat, but the English had fled during the might. He
kept his fh:ps in a Ine, ana proceeded as far as U
ftiant, the next morning, in order to come up with
them, but in vain. They were retired, it is fu,.
pofed,'to their own ports after having been verv
roughly handled. The enemy in the engagement,
made use of grape and small shot ; but this was of
not so much advantage to them as they cxpeßed,for
in general we loft but very few men M. M de
