[a] On 19 December 1810, Vautour was cruising off La Hogue, Northern France, in the company of HMS Satellite, in strong winds.

In the morning, Vautour picked up her empty boats and some deck spars, but no other vestige was found.

[7] On 5 September 1812, Vautour sailed from Portsmouth chasing the 16-gun sloop HMS Pylades, which had left three days earlier, to request she land her army money cargo at Lisbon, instead of Oporto.

[3] Larpent wrote, "Vautour", 'a fast-sailing brig' was also known as 'Vauteur' (her French name) and 'Vulture' (a sloop called HMS Vuture was already in the Navy).

[b] The same day, Vautour and Tyrian, Lieutenant Augustus Baldwin, recaptured the brig Peace.

Her loss is possibly related to the wreck that month of an unknown sloop at Portreath on the coast of Cornwall.
