Auguste (or Augusta) was a French 14-gun privateer commissioned in Saint-Malo in November 1811 under Pierre Jean Marie Lepeltier (or Pelletier).
She captured numerous British merchant vessels before the Royal Navy forced her in January 1814 to run onshore and wreck.
Mary was carrying sugar, coffee, rum, and other colonial produce, and Auguste brought her into Havre two days later.
It further reported that the privateer had captured several other vessels, but that as a result of recent gales two had been lost between Barfleur and Cherbourg, and two had been driven on shore near Havre.
[12][d] On 15 November Auguste, of Saint-Malo, and of 110 men and 14 guns, was off The Lizard when she captured Frederick, Storey, master.
Augusta also took into Brehat an English vessel of 100 tons (bm) that was carrying a cargo of Segovia wool.
Lastly, she sent into the same port a vessel of about 180 tons (bm), carrying oil, cream of tartar, and fruit.
[2] British sources reported on 15 February 1814 that HMS Helicon had chased the schooner Auguste, of 120 men and 16 guns, on shore.
