In 1812, she was part of Gourdon's squadron.

She was renamed Illustre in March 1814, following the Bourbon Restoration. The Treaty of Fontainebleau left her to France, and with 11 other ships of the line, she sailed to her new station in Brest in October.

She was disarmed the next month, and never sailed again. In a state of disrepair, she was broken up in 1827.
