[1] The Royal Navy already had an Eclipse,[2] but had just laid up a Découverte, so the captured vessel became HMS Decouverte.

On 7 February Campbell was cruising between Altavella and the Main, when he discovered three vessels, two French schooner privateers and an English ship, their prize.

The water was too shallow for the British to be able to get closer to the schooner, but Campbell was confident that she was wrecked on the rocks.

French casualties were heavy; the British had to bury at sea seven of Dorade's crew and Campbell estimated that they had lost and thrown overboard seven more during the fight.

[10][9] Decouverte also detained a schooner flying the Swedish flag but carrying French property.

[9] On her way to Jamaica Decouverte chased the French privateer Comet, of five guns and 80 men, for two hours.

[9] While Decouverte underwent repairs the merchants of Jamaica lent the schooner Confiance to the Royal Navy.

[11] After Williams and Decouverte returned to sea, on 12 July 1812 she captured the American privateer Non-Pareil.

[9] While escorting a convoy from New Providence on its way to Jamaica and Cape Haitian through the Caicos Passage, Decouverte prevented the American privateer brig Saratoga, of 16 guns and 140 men, from capturing a schooner.

In 1814 Williams was transferred to the brig Edward, a brigantine of 360 tons, 12 guns, and 74 men, possibly a transport, but his period of command was short-lived as an officer sent from England replaced him.

Before Williams left the Jamaica station in 1815, he received a letter of thanks from the mayor and merchants of Kingston for his services to the trade.

At some point Lieutenant Bladey assumed command of Variable, though it is not entirely clear if that was before or after he sailed Decouverte to extract Bolívar.
