She foundered in September 1805 with the loss of all her crew. ==French career and capture== ''Papillon'' was launched in 1793 and is sometimes referred to as ''Papillon No. 2'', as the 6-gun brig-aviso ''Papillon'' was still in service.〔Winfield and Roberts (2015), p. 207.〕 The 12-gun ''Papillon'' participated in the Croisière du Grand Hiver, an unsuccessful sortie by the French fleet at Brest on 24 December 1794. In September 1803 the rebel slaves under General Jean-Jacques Dessalines were closely pressing the French troops in northwest Saint Domingue. Captain Walker, of , off the Mole St. Nicholas, persuaded the General not to put the garrison of Saint-Marc to death but to march them to the Mole in safety where ''Vanguard'' would take possession of the shipping in the bay.

He also brought out the brigs ''Papillon'' and ''Trois Amis'' (a transport), and the schooner ''Mary Sally'', with 40 or 50 barrels of powder.
