Beaussier had a long and varied naval career and by 1750 had made captain. He also was made a knight of the Order of Saint Louis. In 1755, as captain of Héros, he brought assistance to Canada and Louisbourg during the French and Indian War. In 1756, he brought six ships to Quebec carrying Montcalm and 1,300 troops as reinforcements. Returning to France, he engaged two English ships at Fort Louisbourg and badly damaged them. In 1758, he commanded a ship in a squadron that sailed to Louisbourg to assist governor Drucour in its defence. After the Siege of Louisbourg, the fortress fell to the English on July 27, 1758 and Beaussier was taken prisoner with the rest of the garrison.
