the main corps arriving on 25 April; Marseillois, along with Hercule, Pluton and Éveillé, arrived on 11 May. On 25 and 26 January 1782, Marseillois took part in the Battle of Saint Kitts, where she held the 5th position in the line of battle. Marseillois returned to France at some point in 1782, where she was listed on 1 September to be decommissioned. Campaign of 1782–83, Lombard In October 1782, she was hove down and coppered. She was then recommissioned in December 1782 in Brest under chevalier de Lombard, and was part of a two-ship squadron along with Protecteur. Negotiations for peace with England started in January 1783, and Marseillois was decommissioned in Rochefort on 13 February 1783. She remained in this state until 1794, with some repairs being conducted in 1785 and 1788.
