She then went out to the East Indies where she spent the rest of her active service, including participating in the 1811 invasion of Java.

[2] In the run-up to the British invasion of Java, on 14 July 1809 Procris encountered and destroyed the Dutch privateer Wagster.

[7] Then on 30 July Procris anchored at the mouth of Indramayo, following the orders of Captain George Sayer of the frigate Leda.

At daylight Maunsell discovered six Dutch gun-boats in the river, each armed with a brass 32-pounder carronade forward, and a long 18-pounder aft, and carrying a crew of 60 men.

As Procris moved towards them she quickly ran into shallower water and had to anchor at a range that left her cannon fire ineffective.

The British captured the other five seriatim, all with a loss of only 11 men wounded, albeit some dangerously or badly, despite the heavy fire from the gunboats' cannons and small arms.

Maunsell served on shore, assisting Sayer, who commanded the 500 seamen that manned the twenty 18-pounder guns landed from their ships and emplaced in batteries to bombard Fort Cornelius.

[9] In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "Java" to all surviving claimants from the campaign.

[2] She was under his command in March 1812 when a British squadron, consisting of Bucephalus, Cornelia, and Procris, the Honourable East India Company's (HEIC) warships Mercury and Teignnmouth, and its gunboats Wellington and Young Barracouta, as well as the transports Sandany, Minerva, Matilda, and Mary Ann, sailed from Batavia on a punitive expedition to Palembang, on Sumatra, after the Sultan there massacred Dutch and Malays at the Dutch factory there earlier in the month.

Between 18 and 26 April, she, together with Teignmouth, Wellington and Barracouta and the larger warships' boats, proceeded 60 miles upriver.

[10][b] Foreman served about five months aboard Procris before transferring to Malacca to assume the post of first lieutenant.

[13] The HEIC cruiser Aurora and some gunboats then maintained a blockade until a second punitive expedition arrived in June 1813.

[13] The HEIC contributed the cruisers Malabar, Teignmouth, and Aurora, seven gunboats, the transport Troubridge, and the East Indiaman Princess Charlotte of Wales .

Eventually the British vessels, except the frigates, were able to cross bar in front of the river and move towards the town of Sambas.
