"Concorde" was then assigned to Rear-Admiral George Montagu's squadron in May 1794, and took part in the manoeuvres during the Atlantic campaign of May 1794. Strachan left "Concorde" in July 1794 to take command of "Melampus", and in August Captain Anthony Hunt took over command of "Concorde". "Concorde" was part of John Warren's squadron off Quiberon between June and July 1795, supporting the Quiberon Expedition, after which she joined Sir Edward Pellew's squadron. On 20 April 1796 Pellew's squadron, then consisting of "Concorde", Pellew's 38-gun , and the 36-gun under Captain Robert Carthew Reynolds, spotted and chased a mysterious sail. After chasing their quarry for 15 hours over 168 miles they caught up with her, with "Indefatigable" leading the attack. Both ships exchanged fire, considerably damaging each other, upon which "Concorde" came up under the quarry's stern and forced her to surrender. She was discovered to be the 40-gun , under Captain Jacques Bergeret. "Virginie" was towed to port and taken into the navy.
