From a French port sailed, in August, 1779, the Bonhomme Richard, upon the "immortal cruise " which ended with the great night battle with the SerapiSj of which one can never read without a thrill. The utmost consternation prevailed all along the British coasts ; and the battle was the talk of Europe. In July, 1778, a strong French fleet under Count d'Estaing, bringing the first French minister to this country and four thousand troops, arrived in Amer- 1 William M. Sloane. 16 ica. Plans were ma...de for a combined attack of the French and American forces upon Newport, where there was then a large British force. The fleet pro- ceeded to Narragansett Bay and awaited the arrival of General Sullivan and his army; but there was long delay in the gathering of the militia and conti- nental troops; and, before they were ready to unite with the French in the proposed attack, a British fleet, which had come to the assistance of the forces upon the island, appeared outside of Newport. The French fleet with the troops still on board went out to engage it, but a violent storm arose by which both fleets were much injured, and the French fleet was so disabled that the admiral proceeded to Boston to refit.
