[1] On the morning of 8 May 1811, Scylla was off the Isle of Bas when she observed a convoy of five vessels under the escort of a naval brig.

Finding himself among Les Triagos and Pontgalo rocks, and fearing that the French would be able to beach themselves, Atchison ran Scylla into the brig while travelling at eight knots.

[3] Then on 4 June Scylla recaptured the Wellington,[4] and on 29 December captured the American schooner Fly.

Scylla shared in the capture on 22 March 1813 of the American schooner Tyger with Medusa, Whiting, and Iris.

Two days later Scylla encountered her 60 leagues west of Ushant, making her way towards Brest under jury main and mizzen masts.

Bremer joined Cole and informed him of the situation while Scylla remained with Weser.

Scylla then sat in ordinary until 1821 when in February she underwent repairs that lasted until January 1822.

She again sat until September 1824 when Commander George Russell recommissioned her for Jamaica, and she underwent conversion to a ship-sloop, a process that took until December.

When Scylla returned to Britain in mid-1828 to be paid off, the Duke of Clarence, then Lord High Admiral, and Sir Robert Stoppford, then Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth, visited her.

[d] However, her condition was defective and on 23 July 1828 Travers transferred to Rose, which was fitting out for the Halifax station.

William Henry Smyth used Scylla for hydrographic survey work in the Mediterranean.

[20] On 3 September 1831, Commander the Honourable George Grey replaced Hindmarsh, still in the Mediterranean.

[25] On 26 December 1836 Commander the Honourable Joseph Denman commissioned Scylla for the Lisbon Station.

[26] Scylla, Cameleon, and Savage shared in the salvage for Jane, an English barque that they rescued after she stranded on the bar of the river at Oporto on 7 October 1837.

[f] From September 1841 to April 1842 Scylla underwent repairs and fitting for sea at Plymouth.
