On 22 October Favorite arrived at Barbados after a seven-week voyage, having escorted five slave ships from Bance Island, one of the last British convoys of such vessels.

He was promoted to post captain on 9 February 1808 when he arrived at the Admiralty with the dispatches announcing the surrender of the Danish West Indian colonies.

Subsequently, yellow fever started to devastate his crew, many of whom died; Clement himself survived three attacks.

With only 45 men able to man her, Favorite escorted a convoy of 60 merchant vessels, holding five hovering privateers at bay.

[3] When he made use of an impress warrant, properly signed by the Governor and a magistrate, in Montego Bay, he was forced to pay £535 damages when two actions were brought against him.

[3] At some point Clement captured a Spanish letter of marque named Esperance, of 10 guns and 40 men.

This took place after the United Kingdom and Spain had declared peace, but before official word had reached Jamaica.

[3] On 9 May 1810, Orestes was eight leagues off The Lizard when she was finally able to capture the French privateer schooner Dorade after a seven-hour chase.

Dorade carried ten guns and a crew of 43 men under the command of Emmanuel Ives Le Roux.

Dorade was a new vessel on her first cruise; she had left the Île de Batz only the previous evening and had made no captures.

Maxwell visited all the British settlements on the coast of Africa, destroyed several slave forts on the Rio Pongus and captured four Portuguese slavers.

[20][19] He sailed her to North America and in her brought home the ratification (17 February 1815) by the United States Senate of the Treaty of Ghent that ended the War of 1812.

[20] After the battle of Waterloo, Captain Maude sailed Favorite to India with the news of Napoleon's defeat.

[21] In July 1816, Maude discovered eight islands on the southern side of the Persian Gulp, previously unknown to European navigators.
