Privateer
Nouvelle Eugénie was built between 1796-1797 and was commissioned in 1797 under Joachim Barbier.[1]
On a cruise in March 1797 she captured Spencer, which was carrying a cargo of coffee, sugar, and cotton from the West Indies, and sent her into Lorient.[2][3]
On 11 May, Indefatigable in company with Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, and the hired armed lugger Duke of York captured Nouvelle Eugénie. She was a razee privateer of 16 guns and carried a crew of 120 men. She was four days out of Nantes on a 30-day cruise, but had taken no prizes.[4] The Royal Navy took her into service as HMS Eugenie.
Between 9 August and 27 November 1797 Eugenie was at Plymouth undergoing fitting. Part of the work involved changing her from a ship rig to a brig. Commander Philip Somerville commissioned her in October for the Downs.[5]
On 9 April 1799 Eugenie captured Welvaart Van Pillau.[6]
Eugenie was in company with the hired armed cutter Flirt on 11 May 1799 when they re-captured the brigs Betsey, of Liverpool, and Four Sisters, of Sunderland.[7] Eugenie also recaptured the Danish galliott Tre Sostre or Drie Gezusters.[8]

Lloyd's List reported on 7 April 1801 that Eugenie had recaptured the brig Juno, Wallace, master. A French privateer had captured Juno near Dungeness as Juno was sailing from Lynn to Penzance. Eugenie sent Juno into Dover. The same privateer had captured a brig carrying corn and sent her into France.[9] Juno was a small, two-year old coasting brig of 72 tons (bm).[10]
In August Eugenie sustained casualties while participating in Lord Nelson's unsuccessful raids on Boulogne. She suffered three seamen killed and one officer and five seamen wounded.[11]
On 26 November the Swedish East Indiaman Sophia Magdalena ran onshore near Kingsdown on the South Foreland. Eugenie and Шаблон:HMS came as close as they could and rendered assistance.[12]
In May 1802 Commander Fasham Roby replaced Somerville.[5]
Fate
The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered the "Eugenie sloop, 241 tons", lying at Deptford for sale on 1 December 1802.[13] Mr. Freake finally purchased her on 3 January 1803.[5]
