Query on operations

HMS FALCON [16] under Acting Commander John Price in Danish Waters in 1808

Other than his report to Donald Campbell as published in London Gazette and Edinburgh Gazette in June 1808, does anyone have any information about the FALCON in 1808, or about its Acting Commander before or after his boat burning raids?
