Auguste (or Augusta) was a privateer launched at Bordeaux in 1808. She cruised under Henry the younger from 1808 to 1809, and again from September 1810 to November. She also cruised under La Case at some point in 1809 or 1810. In December 1810 command passed to Juan Jamays, who was her captain at the time of her capture.
Capture: HMS Emerald captured Auguste on 6 April 1811,[2] and brought her into Cork.[3]
