[1]On the afternoon of 18 December 1812 Landrail chased the French 40-gun frigate Gloire in company with the 18-gun ship-sloop Albacore, the 12-gun schooner Pickle and the 12-gun brig-sloop Borer.

[2] Albacore and Pickle had found themselves close to the much larger French ship off The Lizard at daybreak in light winds.

"[2] In 1813 Landrail performed a number of duties, including accompanying a convoy to the Baltic and carrying dispatches to Heligoland.

She brought with her the ship Duck, bound from Newfoundland to Portugal, which also carried the crews of a number of merchant vessels that two French frigates had captured.

[1] On 12 July Landrail was in the Channel,[6] on her way to Gibraltar with dispatches when she encountered the American privateer Syren under Captain J.D.

[7] Lancaster attempted to escape, keeping up a running fight of a little over an hour, and a close action of 40 minutes.

[11] Syren returned to the United States but as she approached the Delaware River the British blockading ships gave chase.

[13] In late 1814 or early 1815, while on the Halifax station under Lieutenant (Gustavus) Robert Rochfort, Landrail successfully repulsed a force of five American privateers.

[14] The American vessels were the 10-gun Charles Stewart of Boston, the 4-gun Cumberland of Portland, the 4-gun Fame of Thomastown, the sloop Jefferson of Salem, and a schooner, name and armament unknown.

Siren was a large four-masted vessel carrying a cargo of wool and tallow from Sydney to Britain.
