At the end of April 1802, upon the implementation of the Treaty of Amiens, Princess of Orange sailed up the Thames to Chatham where she was paid off.

In May 1803, following the resumption of war with France, Captain Charles Cunningham commissioned Princess of Orange,[2] and soon after assumed the command of a squadron sent to watch the Dutch fleet in the Texel.

[a] In September 1803 Captain Thomas Rogers replaced Cunningham, with Princess of Orange being assigned to the North Sea station.

On 27 November she arrived at Portsmouth where Admiral William O'Brien Drury joined her, he having been appointed second-in-command of the Irish station.

[2] On 28 August 1807 the boats of Princess of Orange, Blazer, and Bustler detained the Dutch vessels Eos and Amicitia.

[2] The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy", offered "Princess of Orange, of 74 guns and 1565 tons", "lying at Chatham" for sale on 13 April 1822.
