Russell was at Plymouth on 20 January 1795 and so shared in the proceeds of the detention of the Dutch naval vessels, East Indiamen, and other merchant vessels that were in port on the outbreak of war between Britain and the Netherlands.[3]
In 1797 Russell was commanded by Captain Henry Trollope, who led her at the Battle of Camperdown.
On 24 February 1801, Lloyd's List reported that Russell had towed "Duckingfield Hall", Pedder, master, into Torbay. She had been sailing from Antigua to London when of the Scilly Islands another vessel had run foul of her. Duckenfield Hall had lost her foremast, and her fore, main, and mizzen topmasts; the vessel that ran into her was believed to have foundered.[4]
Russell at Copenhagen, 1801
In March, Russell was under the command of William Cuming, part of the Baltic fleet sent to break up the League of Armed Neutrality. The fleet assembled in the Kattegat in March 1801 but on 22 March a storm came up that dispersed some of the vessels. Both the gun-brigs Blazer and Tickler were driven under the guns of Varberg Fortress. The Swedes captured Blazer, but Russell towed Tickler to safety.[5]
Russell and was at the Battle of Copenhagen on 2 April.[6] Despite going aground early on in the battle,[7] Russell was able to engage the Danish ship Prøvesteenen, and when she surrendered, send boats to take possession of her.[8] In 1847 the Navy awarded the Naval General Service Medal (1847) with clasp "Copenhagen 1801" to all the surviving claimants from the battle.[9]
Lloyd's List (LL) reported on 10 June 1803 that Russell had burnt a 14-gun French navy brig coming from San Domingo.[10]
^In February 1824 prize money was paid to the troops, artillerymen, and the crews of Russell and Monmouth, which had appeared on the scene. A first-class share for Russell was worth £254 18s 9d; a fifth-class share, that of a seaman, was worth 19s 11d.[13]
