Lascelles was a brig built at Hull, ^[1] or Selby in 1812. Her master was Gascoigne. She traded as a coaster, and between Cork and Spain or England.

The French privateer Telemachus captured Lascelles, Gascoigne, master, and she arrived in Calais on 19 December 1813. ^[a] When captured Lascelles had been sailing from Cork to London with 570 tierces of beef and 170 tierces of pork. ^[4] Lloyd's Register for 1815 has the annotation "captured" beneath her name. ^[2]
