Belette was one of seven British warships sharing in the proceeds of the capture on 28 August of the Danish merchant vessel Sally.

[8] Then Belette is listed among the vessels sharing in the prize money for the ships and provisions that the British captured at Copenhagen.

Before running afoul of Belette, Jalouse had captured Mary and Lark, both of Halifax, and General Green, of Surinam, which last some other British warship had since recaptured.

[15] In August Belette captured the French privateer Joséphine, which the Royal Navy took into service as Morne Fortunee.

[19][e] On 23 July duplicates of the dispatches and much besides were found concealed aboard the cartel Phoenix, which had sailed from Cayenne and had stopped in Barbados.

[32][33] On 1 May 1811,[34] the British sent four boats from Belette, Cherokee and Clio,[35] into the western end of the sound, expecting to capture some shipping or do other mischief.

As the British rowed boldly in, they met unexpected fire from howitzers and muskets; they immediately withdrew, with the Danish boats in pursuit.

Belette was among the vessels sharing in the capture, on 12 August, of the Cuba, Caliban, Edward, Galen, Halcyon, and Cygnet.

[39][i] On 24 November 1812 Belette, under Sloane, was in the Kattegat leading Russian ships through the south-west passage of Anholt towards Gothenburg when she went aground on a sunken rock called "John" (or "Fannot") off Læsø.
