The <entity_1> was an amphibious expedition in <entity_3> during the <entity_0>. Charles Hector, comte D'Estaing led French forces against the <entity_4>-held <entity_2> island of <entity_5>. The French forces landed on <entity_6> and the assault occurred on the night of 3 July–<entity_3>. Under the terms of the Treaty of Paris, France returned <entity_5> to <entity_4> control at the end of the war. Following the entry of France into the <entity_0> as an American ally in early 1778, French Admiral the comte D'Estaing arrived in the <entity_2> in early December 1778 commanding a fleet of twelve ships of the line and a number of smaller vessels. At about the same time a <entity_4> fleet under Admiral William Hotham also arrived, augmenting the <entity_2> fleet of Admiral Samuel Barrington. He had hoped to capture Barbados, a key <entity_4> possession, but after making no progress against the prevailing easterly trade winds, he turned his attention instead to <entity_5>. The French fleet anchored off the <entity_5> coast just north of St. George's on <entity_6>. There were no further major actions in the <entity_2> before d'Estaing sailed north and led an unsuccessful siege of <entity_4>-held Savannah, Georgia in September.
