French frigate Sibylle (1792)
''Sibylle'' was a 38-gun of the French Navy. She was launched in 1791 at the dockyards in Toulon and placed in service in 1792.〔Roche (2005), p.182.〕 After the 50-gun fourth rate captured her in 1794, the British took her into service as HMS ''Sybille''.〔Why the Admiralty reversed the positions of the "i" and the "y" in spelling her name is not clear, but this aberrant spelling persisted over several later Royal Navy vessels.〕 She served in the Royal Navy until disposed of in 1833. While in British service ''Sybille'' participated in three notable single ship actions, in each case capturing a French vessel. On anti-slavery duties off West Africa from July 1827 to June 1830, ''Sybille'' captured numerous slavers and freed some 3,500 slaves. She was finally sold in 1833 in Portsmouth.
==French service==
From 23 April 1790 to October–December 1792, ''Sibylle'' escorted a convoy and transferred funds from Toulon to Smyrna, first under Capitaine de vaisseau (CV) Grasse-Briançon and then CV de Venel. From March 1793 to January 1794, under CV Rondeau, she escorted convoys between Toulon and Marseilles and then she moved to the Levant station. She cruised the Aegean Sea, and in June 1794 she was escorting a convoy from Candia to Mykonos.
On 17 June, as ''Sybille'' was anchored in Miconi along with three merchantmen bound for Cadiz, a British convoy escorted by , under Captain Paget, and three frigates appeared.〔 ''Romney'' approached and demanded that ''Sibylle'' hoist a white flag, to which Rondeau retorted that he could not fly another flag than that of the Republic.
''Romney'' opened fire, and after one hour and a half of gunnery exchanges, ''Sibylle'' struck to her much more powerful opponent. Paget took possession of ''Sibylle'' and the merchantmen, but put the crew and Rondeau ashore.〔''Batailles navales de la France'', O. Troude, Challamel ainé, 1867, (vol.2 ), p.381〕 ''Sibylle'' was taken into British service as HMS ''Sybille''.
