She also participated in two actions that would in 1847 earn her surviving crew members clasps to the Naval General service Medal (NGSM).

[1] On 19 March 1808, Sir George Mouat Keith was appointed to Redbreast on the North Sea station.

Detachments from the frigate Alexandria, the sloop Rosamond, and Redbreast manned two gunboats on 9 and 11 August 1808 on the Jade and Weser rivers.

On 1 August, a squadron, consisting of the 32-gun frigate Quebec, 16-gun brig Raven, the gun-brigs Exertion and Redbreast, and hired cutters Alert and Princess Augusta, were cruising off Texel.

Quebec captured a Vaisseau de Guerre of the Imperial Customs Service, later named as a privateer Christine Charlotte.

[7] The sight of four enemy gun-brigs lying at anchor at Nordeney induced Captain Hawtayne of Quebec to despatch ten boats from the squadron, with 117 seamen and marines, to cut them out.

The British vessels had come to support the Russian troops under Colonel Alexander Radlinger, who were besieging the town.

[9] The squadron comprised Hearty, Blazer, Piercer, Shamrock, Redbreast, and the gun-boats Nos.

The French surrendered 26 heavy guns, two 13" mortars, and a blockhouse with a garrison of three hundred men and officers, all of whom became prisoners of war.

[13][c] In August 1813 Redbreast was in company with Brev Drageren when they captured the Danish droits Haabet and Evers, No.

[d] From late December 1813 the squadron, comprising Desiree, Hearty, Blazer, Piercer, Shamrock, Redbreast, and eight gun-boats (the seven from Cuxhaven plus No.

12), supported Swedish forces under the command of General Baron de Boye against the Danes in the attack on the town and fortress of Glückstadt at the Elbe river during the War of the Sixth Coalition.
