[1] By 30 November 1793 Suffisante was under the command of enseigne de vaisseau non entretenu Berrenger and stationed at Le Havre.

[5] Between 27 April 1795 and her capture, Suffisante was stationed at Flessingue and under the command of lieutenant de vaisseau Nosten.

[6] On 25 August 1795 the squadron under Admiral Adam Duncan captured two French Navy brigs off the Texel.

[7] French records state that Suffisante's actual captors were the 74-gun third-rate Mars, the frigate Venus, and the lugger Speedy.

[6] The French reports further state that Suffisante exchanged fire with the 20-gun lugger Speedy, but the arrival on the scene of Mars and Venus rendered further resistance futile.

After a chase of eleven hours and a half-hour engagement, she captured the privateer brig Revanche in a single-ship action.

[11] The Bermuda-built Revanche was armed with twelve 4-pounder guns, and had a crew of 85 men under the command of lieutenant de vaisseau George Henri Dravemen.

[17] On 27 August Suffisante intercepted and recaptured two British merchant ships near the Île de Batz.

Tomlinson immediately sent the recaptured vessels to Plymouth and sailed Suffisante to the French coast between Ushant and the Île de Batz in the hopes of intercepting the privateer on her return, or any prizes that she might have taken on their way to Morlaix or Brest.

and the Court of Directors of the Royal Exchange Assurance, each voted Tomlinson a piece of plate valued at 50 guineas.

[10][d] At some point while Tomlinson was captain of Suffisante she captured the brig Bernon, and was involved in some capacity with the Spanish brigs San Joseph y Animas and San Rogue for which she "received money out of the registry of the High Court of Admiralty by virtue of His Majesty's warrant".

[23] Tomlinson received promotion to post captain on 12 December 1796,[10] whereupon Commander Josiah Wittman replaced him.

As Suffisante was heading back to the west she encountered and captured the small French privateer cutter Bonaparte (or Buonapartie).

[26] On 20 May 1799 Suffisante and Harpy were in sight when Savage captured the ship Johanna Maria, Kroyer, master.

[36] On 3 September Suffisante and Havick encountered a French flotilla of 14 vessels carrying provisions and stores to the French fleet at Brest, and under the escort of the 18-gun fluyt (or corvette en flute) Salamandre, under Captain Conseil, and the gunboat Protectrice, under Guégun.

[40] On 12 September Suffisante came into Plymouth with a Danish galliot that had been sailing from Bordeaux to Embden with wines and brandies.

[55] William was a Newfoundland brig under the command of Wadland, master, that the French privateer Renard had captured.

[58] On 19 July Suffisante left Plymouth as escort to a convoy carrying livestock and vegetables to the Royal Navy squadron off Le Havre.

A cutting out party from Suffisante had attempted to take an armed cutter in Morlaix roads when a Danish brig had given the alarm.

[61] In early January 1802 gales of wind had caused Suffisante to ship several heavy seas, nearly swamping her.

She had been obliged to batten down for 48 hours, with the result for that entire period the officers and crew had remained on the main and quarter-deck.

She had carried discharged Irish seamen to Cork, landed them, and returned to Plymouth, all in three days and 14 hours.

[66][i] One report states that she wrecked on 25 December 1803 in a violent gale off Spike Island, Queenstown, Cork.

On 25 December Suffisante was in Cork harbour, waiting for wind and weather to change to permit her to sail.

The crew fired distress guns and boats from nearby vessels came, but the choppy seas prevented cables or anchors from being let out.

Water began rising rapidly and the crew was barely able to get the sloop's cutter overboard before she fell on her beam ends and sank.
