Britton visited the USS President where he identified several who were British, including some who were Cornishmen that had not rejoined their packets in time.

Although he believed that they would be glad to desert and come to Ann, he did not take them as he was afraid that the Americans would accuse him of "harbouring their seamen."

[a] Ann, Captain Peter Hill (acting), sailed from Falmouth on 12 April 1813, bound for the Leeward Islands and Jamaica.

The American privateer Yorktown, of 380 tons (bm), 16 guns, and 180 men, captured Ann off the Western Isles on 21 April after an action of two hours.

[7] On 16 May HMS Hogue recaptured Ann near Sandy Hook and sent her to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

She had a prize crew of a midshipman and some 15 sailors aboard who resisted until they had suffered two men lightly wounded and had their rigging and sails shot up.

[9][b] Niles' Weekly Register reported on 5 June 1813, that Young Teazer had sent the "packet Ann, of 10 guns", a valuable prize, into Portland.
