[4] By the following year, Royal Navy attacks against French- and Italian-flagged coastal shipping had led Dubourdieu to mount an attempt to permanently eradicate the British threat in the Adriatic.

In March 1811, he assembled a force of six frigates, one brig, two schooners, one xebec and two gunboats, taking advantage of the temporary absence of the British ship of the line HMS Montagu from the region.

The destruction of Dubourdieu's ship Favorite and his death, along with the arrival of the British frigate HMS Active, forced Pasqualigo to retreat eastwards alongside Danaé and Carolina.

[8][9] The crew of Corona suffered roughly 200 men killed and wounded during the battle, including Pasqualigo, who was made a British prisoner of war.

[2] For his role in the battle, Pasqualigo was awarded the Order of the Iron Crown, promoted to the rank of captain and placed in command of a Franco-Italian flotilla in the Adriatic.

In 1818, Pasqualigo was appointed as Chamberlain of the Empire and in the following year accompanied Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor on a voyage between Rome and Naples, at the end of which he was promoted to the rank of counter admiral.
