She was of 315 tons burthen (bm) and was armed with thirty-two 18-pounder carronades.〔Winfield (2008), p.393.〕 she served in the Channel, primarily out of Plymouth, convoying and cruising.

In reporting the transaction, the ''Naval Chronicle'' described ''Lady Warren'' as a ship under the command of "Captain Mackellar", and armed with thirty-two 18-pounder carronades.〔''Naval Chronicle'', Vol. 11, p.447.〕 Mackellar was Commander Peter Mackeller (or M'Kellar).〔Marshall (1832), Vol. 3, Part 2, pp.249-50.〕 However, Captain Morrison was ''Lady Warren''s first commander. He was appointed early in 1804,〔''Naval Chronicele'', Vol. 11, p.343.〕 and was still in command on 12 June.〔''Naval Chronicle'', vol. 12, p.163.〕 The first mention of M'Kellar occurs on 10 August.〔''Naval Chronicle'', vol. 12, p.246.〕 In January 1805 ''Lady Warren'' detained the American brig ''Commerce'', Taylor, master, which was sailing from Havana to Rotterdam, and sent her into Penzance.〔''Lloyd's List'', no. 4188,() - accessed 25 February 2014.〕 In April ''Lady Warren'' detained and sent into Plymouth the ''Minerva'', Henricksen, master, from Cette.〔''Lloyd's List'', no. 4213,() - accessed 25 February 2014.〕 Later the same month ''Lady Warren'' detained and sent into Plymouth the ''Jong Pieter'', from Amsterdam to Corunna, and the ''Jeune Marie'', Simmons, master, from Bordeaux to Elsinor.〔''Lloyd's List'', no. 4217,() - accessed 25 February 2014.〕 then on 27 May ''Bacchante'' and ''Lady Warren'' arrived at Deal.
