[3] In 1798 Captain Bambot was given command of a squadron of ships, including Embuscade, with orders to transport troops to Ireland to fight in the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

She was three years old, newly coppered and fastened with "composition bolts"; the description was perhaps notice to the admiral of the station that the Royal Navy might consider buying her.

[8][c] On 27 May Seine's barge, under the command of Lieutenant Bland of the Marines, captured the recently constructed Spanish schooner Conception off Puerto Rico.

Atkins captured nine prisoners whom he quickly landed as they appeared ill and he wished to avoid introducing sickness into Seine.

[7] By coincidence, on 18 June, Bland, in Seine's barge, captured a second Conception, this one a felucca of two long 4-pounder guns and carrying a crew of 14 men.

[9] On 29 June Seine aided Unicorn, Comet, and Cossack in capturing the French brig Pierre Caesar off the coast of France.

[11] On 26 October 1809, Seine, Captain Atkins, captured the French privateer brig Rodeur of sixteen 6-pounder guns (pierced for 20), and 121 men off Bordeaux.

[13][d] On the night of 12 February 1810, Seine was in the Basque Roads, when a convoy of ten vessels sailed from the river Charente and three chasse-marées went aground on the reef off the Point de Chatelaillon between La Rochelle and Île d'Aix.

Nine French gunboats, each carrying a 12-pounder carronade and six swivel guns, and manned with sufficient men for 20 to 30 oars, fled from the British boats.

[15][16] On 25 July 1810 the West Indiaman Starling, Coulson, master, was returning to London from Martinique and St Lucia when she encountered the French privateer Dame Ernouf, of 18 guns and 130 men, nine days into a cruise from Brest.
