In 1792 the French navy renamed her Coureur. After coppering her, the Navy transferred her back to Mauritius.[1] In November or December 1793 (Frimaire An II) lieutenant de vaisseau Garaud sailed her to Mauritius.[2] Under his command she was present at the battle of Île Ronde on 22 October 1794,[3] but sustained no casualties.
She was condemned at Île de France in March 1798.[4] She was last mentioned in 1801 and her remains were still visible in 1808.[5]
