I couldn't find too much about this ship.
It was the second Royal Navy ship by that name. It was a 32-gun 5th Rate Ship of the Line, launched in 1801. Besides capturing the USS Viper, it served in the Chesapeake Bay area. On June 7, 1814, it and the HMS Loire were blockading the entrance to St. Leonard's Creek, but driven off on the 26th.
After 1823, it was used as a convict ship and sold in 1837.
