On 22 April 1799 Lloyd's List (LL), reported that as Cicero was on her way to Barbados a French privateer captured her.

Captain John Barry was sailing the USS United States east of Marie-Galante when on 26 February he sighted two ships.

He captured Cicero, of Liverpool and 430 tons (bm), put a prize crew on board, and sailed after her captor, the French privateer Democrat, of 12 guns and 100 men.

Her cargo consisted of live stock such as oxen, jackasses, and horses, and the prize master estimated that it was worth $30,000, of which one-eighth would accrue to United States as salvage.

[8] In the 36 or so hours since her capture her French captors had left Cicero's dead and wounded unattended.

Barry took the wounded into United States's sick bay and put the 33-man French prize crew into her hold as prisoners.

Cicero put into Delagoa Bay in 1820 to effect repairs, and returned to Britain on 24 March 1820.

Cicero, Evans, master, ran aground in the River Shannon at Limerick on 21 September 1832 and capsized.
