Last Wednesday evening, a ball was given at the Assembly
Room, by a number of the principal gentlemen of this town;
at which were present General Count Vaudreuil, and officers
of his most Christian Majesty's fleet and army in this port.
The company was brilliant and numerous -harmony, politeness,
and cordial friendship, seemed visible in every countenance.
A cold collation was provided, which was neat and elegant
(altho' not costly) -plenty was mark'd with propriety and
oeconomy. The whole was conducted with ease and politeness;
and the band of music belonging to the troops, gave a most
pleasing cast to the whole entertainment.
