Jalouse was an 18-gun Belliqueuse-class brig-corvette of the French Navy, built to a design by Pierre-Alexandre-Laurent Forfait, and launched in 1794 at Honfleur.

In British service she served primarily on the North Sea station where she captured three small French privateers, and many Dutch merchant vessels.

Between 24 March 1794 and 25 August, Jalouse was at Le Havre and Ostend, and under the command of lieutenant de vaisseau Astague.

[5] From 7 March 1797 until her capture, French official records confirm that Jalouse was under Plucket's command, and based at Flessingue.

[4] On 27 March, or 7 April (records differ),[5] Jalouse encountered the sloop Tisiphone in the North Sea.

Supposedly, when Plucket's English prisoners from prizes returned to Britain and reported that Jalouse was a 12-gun brig, Wallis was court-martialed and reduced in rank.

[6] There she replenished her store of munitions, recruited 20 Dutch sailors to rebuild his crew, and then set out for Flessingue.

White was able to bring Vestal alongside Jalouse and fired three broadsides before she struck, having suffered great damage to her masts and rigging.

[14][c] Lieutenant Dawes, of the hired armed cutter Phoenix arrived at Yarmouth Roads on 9 March with intelligence from the Haak Sands at the mouth of the Texel.

Dawes also brought with him a letter from Temple stating that prisoners from Jason had reported that 15,000 troops in France were to march to Holland to be embarked on transports.

[d] During the night of 27 June Temple and Captain James Boorder of Espiegle volunteered to cut out some Dutch gunboats lying at the back of the island of Ameland, so Capt.

When the British boats arrived, they found that their targets were pulled up on shore where the cutting out party could not reach them.

[21] A later prize money notice identified some of the Dutch vessels as Twee Gebroders (Dirks, master), Twee Gebroders (Jansen, master), Jonge Evert, Vrow Regina, Anna Elizabeth, Vrow Trentje, and four fishing vessels.

[22][e] Then on 10 July Jalouse was a part of a small squadron consisting also of Espiegle, Courier, Pylades, and the hired armed cutter Nancy, all under Winthrop's command in Circe.

There they captured three merchant vessels carrying sugar, wine and brandy, and destroyed a galliot loaded with ordnance and stores.

[25][26] Temple was able to rescue the four masters and 35 seamen of four laden colliers that the privateer had taken the previous day close in to Flamborough Head.

[32] In 1801 the Honorable Frederick Paul Irby took command of Jalouse, then operating in the North Sea.

[34][f] Jalouse, while under his command, was instrumental in saving Narcissus when she was driven ashore on the coast of Holland.

[41] Squirrel, Driver, Bittern, and Jalouse shared in the proceeds of the capture on 5 October of Carolina Wilhelmina.

[45][g] Lloyd's List reported that Grampus and Jalouse had sent into the Downs a large Dutch ship from Surinam bound for Rotterdam.

[49] The frigate Immortalité, together with Jalouse and Cruizer, captured two French gun-vessels, the schooner Inabordable and the brig Commode on 14 June 1803 after the French vessels had run themselves ashore under the protection of the guns of a shore battery at Cap Blanc Nez near Sangatte.

[55][i] In an enclosure to a letter dated 7 October 1805, Admiral Lord Nelson wrote, "Jalouse, Childers, and Merlin being unfit for the service of this Country, are ordered home with the first Convoy to be repaired".
