Following the war, with her armament reduced to 5 12-pounder carronades and 1 long 12-pounder, Nonsuch anti-pirate cruised in the West Indies. In 1819, she, with frigates John Adams and Constellation, sailed in a squadron under Captain Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of the Battle of Lake Erie, for the Orinoco River, Venezuela, arriving 15 July to discourage piracy while still maintaining friendly relations with Venezuela and the Republic of Buenos Aires. Shifting his flag to Nonsuch, Commodore Perry sailed upriver to negotiate an antipiracy agreement with President Simon Bolivar. A favorable treaty was signed 11 August, but when the schooner started downriver, many of her crew including Perry had been stricken with yellow fever.
