[5] In November 1798 Lloyd's List reported that Gironde had captured several vessels near the Newfoundland Banks.

[7] Commerce, Robert Caleff, master, Richard Calef, owner, had departed her homeport of Norfolk (Virginia), with a cargo of tobacco for London.

Gironde, Captain Darigand, captured Commerce on 11 October off Newfoundland and took her into Santander, where she arrived on 8 November.

There the French consul condemned vessel and cargo as English property; they were sold for 723,916 Spanish reals.

[10] In early 1800 Gironde captured the American ship Alknomac, Francis Miller, master, James and Edwin Gairdner, owners, and sent her into Lorient and Île de Ré.

The "Principal officers and commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered Gironde for sale on 24 August 1801.
