In June 1795, during her sixth voyage, she participated in the capture of eight vessels of the Dutch East India Company.

EIC voyage #1 (1782–1784): Captain Todd sailed from Portsmouth on 11 September 1782, bound for Madras and Bengal.

[2] EIC voyage #2 (1785–1786): Captain Thomas Robertson sailed from The Downs on 15 March 1785, bound for China.

[2] EIC voyage #5 (1792–1793): Capt Robertson sailed from The Downs on 15 April 1792, bound for Madras and Bengal.

[2] The EIC inspected the East Indiamen as they arrived and on 15 October fined Robertson and eight other captains £100 each for having not stowed their cargoes in conformance with the Company's orders.

[3] The British government held her at Portsmouth, together with a number of other Indiamen in anticipation of using them as transports for an attack on Île de France (Mauritius).

After France had invaded Holland earlier that year, instructions had gone out throughout the British colonies and Navy that Dutch vessels were to be detained.

Busbridge was in a second squadron of East Indiamen and she and Asia arrived on the scene in time to help board the Dutch vessels.

The entire convoy Indiamen and prizes, all under escort by Sceptre, left St Helena in August.

The British government chartered Busbridge, as well as numerous other Indiamen and country ships, to serve as a transport in a planned attack on Manila.

When the British Government cancelled the invasion following a peace treaty with Spain, it released the vessels it had engaged.

[2] The EIC charged the British government some £6083 for demurrage for the 292 days delay to Busbridge's original voyage, plus £800 for table expenses.
