On 25 April, she embarked some refugee slaves for passage to the Caribbean. They had come from Negro Fort, which the British were evacuating. Once the former slaves had disembarked, Aetna embarked invalided servicemen whom she carried to Portsmouth. Disposal Returning from America, Aetna arrived back at Portsmouth on 19 July 1815, before sailing to Woolwich for disposal.

Mercantile service Success reappeared in Lloyd's Register in 1816 with Martin, master, Morgan & Co., owner, and trade London–Jamaica. She had undergone a thorough repair in 1816. On 26 November 1817 Success was at Deal, having arrived from the Thames on her way to Calcutta. On 28 February 1818 Success arrived off the Cape of Good Hope from London; she was bound for Calcutta. She arrived back at Gravesend on 254 January 1819. On 30 December 1818 as Success was returning from Bengal she was off Pico Island in the Azores when the insurgent privateer schooner Buenos Ayres, of 18 guns and 100 men (mostly Britons and Americans), boarded Success. In the dusk they suspected that she was Spanish because of her high stern. The privateer's men inspected her papers carefully to insure that she was not Spanish sailing under a false flag. The privateer's Chief Mate informed Captain Martin that the privateer had been out nine months and had a successful cruise, having captured numerous vessels, including a major Spanish vessel and a Portuguese vessel coming from Bengal with Spanish goods on board.<ref>[https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uc1.c2735029?urlappend=%3Bseq=26 Lloyd's List (LL) 15 January 1819, №5357.]</ref> FateLloyd's List published a letter from Les Sables-d'Olonne dated 16 August 1823, reporting that Success'', Martin, had wrecked while sailing between Oberon (Oléron) to Abbeveille.
