After the resumption of war with France, the Navy had Poulette fitted as a 24-gun post ship at Portsmouth between May and July 1803.

However, by November Poulette was in the Channel, serving under Admiral James Saumarez, who put her to use reconnoitering off Cherbourg.

[5] The captured French vessels were Amis, Leda, and Providence; Poulette, Liberty, and Moucheron shared the prize money.

The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" put Poulette up for sale at Portsmouth on 16 March 1814.
