[Boston, Nov.5] Last Thursday evening, a superb ball was
given at Concert-Hall, by General Hancock, at which were
present, his Excellency Count D'Estaing, and a number of
officers belonging to the French fleet.---There were upwards
of a hundred of the principal ladies of the town present,
who being richly and elegantly dressed, added a most
inchanting brilliancy to the evening, and in the eyes of
their countrymen, at least, gave no bad specimen of American
female grace and beauty.
