Applegarth acquired a letter of marque on 6 January 1794.[2]The British government held Europa at Portsmouth, together with 38 other Indiamen in anticipation of using them as transports for an attack on Île de France (Mauritius). It gave up the plan and released the vessels in May 1794. It paid £850 for having delayed her departure by 42 days. {{see also|Transport vessels for the cancelled British invasion of Île de France (1794)}}Captain A.J.
