On 2 December Podargus was on station off Boulogne when her crew retrieved an abandoned, swamped Dutch boat.

The boat had to be over-turned to bring her on board Podargus, but even so, money was found aboard her, amounting to 13 gold guineas, four half-guineas, and some silver French coins.

[2] On 4 October 1812 Podargus captured the Danish sloop Speculation and shared the prize money with Persian, Erebus, Woodlark and Plover by agreement.

They therefore sent a small squadron consisting of the 64-gun Third Rate ship-of-the-line Dictator (Captain James Patteson Stewart), and three brigs, the 18-gun Cruizer class brig-sloop Calypso (Commander Weir), Podargus, and the 14-gun gun-brig Flamer (Lieutenant Thomas England), to seek out the Danes.

[9] Robilliard and Podargus led the British attack because she had a man onboard who had sailed in those waters some time ago; nevertheless, she grounded.

However, Dictator and Calypso succeeded in destroying the new, 40-gun frigate HDMS Najaden and badly damaging the 18-gun brigs Laaland, Samsøe, and Kiel, as well as a number of gunboats.

[10] In 1847 the surviving British participants were authorized to apply for the clasp "Off Mardoe 6 July 1812" to the Naval General Service Medal.

On 2 April the boats of Porcupine captured one gun-brig, six gun-boats, one armed schooner, three chasse-marées, and an imperial barge.

[b] Two days later, the 74-gun Centaur joined Egmont to prepare for to attack the French 74-gun Régulus, three brig-corvettes, other vessels lying near her, and the batteries that protected them.

[14] In April 1817, the transport brig Emu, belonging to the Cape Town Dockyard, was the first European vessel to enter the Knysna.

[2] In January 1819, while Podargus was still at St Helena, the London Gazette reported that Parliament had voted a grant to all those who had served under the command of Admiral Viscount Keith in 1812, between 1812 and 1814, and in the Gironde.

[18] Rous was still in command of Podargus when he wrote a letter on 29 March 1819 to Admiral Robert Plampin, extolling the virtues of Hout Bay, 14 miles from Cape Town, as the site of a dockyard.
