  • Esperance was originally the British privateer Ellis. A vessel by that name and described as being of 345 tons burthen (bm), with twenty-two 6-pounder guns and a crew of 100 received a warrant on 3 June 1793. Her captain was John Levingston. The French frigate Gracieuse, under the command of Captain Chevillard, captured Ellis on 22 July 1793. The French took her into service as Elise. Later that summer the Spanish captured her. In November ownership returned to the French who renamed her Esperance. On 8 June 1794, Esperance arrived in Jacmel, Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti), from France with the official proclamation of the abolition of slavery, which Léger-Félicité Sonthonax, as one of the Civil Commissioners of Saint-Domingue, had already unilaterally declared for the French colony the year before amid a slave rebellion and attacks from British and Spanish forces. Ironically, Esperance also brought the news to the Civil Commissioners that the National Convention had impeached them on 16 July 1793 and ordered them to return promptly to France.
