The ''Clorinde'' was a 40-gun ''Pallas''-class frigate of the French Navy, designed by Sané. From June 1809, she was stationed with the 16-gun ''Milan'' and the 38-gun ''Renommée''. In September, she sailed with ''Renommée'', ''Loire'' and ''Seine'' to Guadeloupe. On 13 December, she and ''Renommée'' captured HMS ''Junon''.〔(HMS ''Junon'' ), naval database〕 On 15 December 1809, she ran aground, and freed herself by dropping guns and ammunition overboard. She took part in the Action of 20 May 1811, fought off Madagascar, and returned to Brest. Captain Jacques Saint-Cricq was found guilty of failing to properly support his commodore, and demoted of rank, expelled from the Legion of Honour, and sentenced to three years in prison. On 25 February 1814, at , and under Commander René Joseph Marie Denis-Lagarde,〔(Notice Biographique, René Joseph Marie Denis-Lagarde )〕 she was chased by the 38-gun .〔(HMS ''Eurotas'' ), Naval database〕 A violent fight ensued for two hours and 20 minutes that left both ships dismasted, ''Eurotas'' suffering 20 killed and 30 wounded (including Captain John Phillimore), and ''Clorinde'', 40 killed and 80 wounded. During the night, the ships built jury rigs and resumed the pursuit the next day, when HMS ''Dryad'' and HMS ''Achates'' intervened. The helpless ''Clorinde'' struck after the first cannon shot from ''Dryad'', who towed her to Portsmouth.
