Waldegrave immediately gave chase, causing them to disperse, though the largest one attempted to separate Minorca from her prize.

After a two-hour chase, Waldegrave was able to capture the largest, the Nuestra Señora del Carmen (alias Caridad).

Minorca also captured a Spanish felucca, the packet boat on the Tangiers to Tarifa route, together with the mail that she was carrying.

[3] Minorca then served off Cadiz in 1807, with Commander Phipps Hornby replacing Waldegrave in March.

On 4 June Minorca, with Wormley in command, captured the French privateer felucca Sans Peur.

[7] In September Minorca was in company with Captain Charles Bullen and his frigate Volontaire as they reconnoitred the Spanish east coast towards the Medes Islands, which they had not yet visited.
