Lieutenant Woolcott Chauncey had orders to defend the yard rather than the schooners, but had instead gone aboard one of the schooners, which were engaging the British vessels at long and ineffective range.Malcolmson, pp.136-137 By this time, Prevost was convinced that success was impossible to attain. His own field guns did not come into action and without them he was unable to batter breaches in the American defences, while the militia which Brown had rallied were attacking his own right flank and rear.

Aside from Captain Mends on Arethusa, casualties were severe on both sides. Amethyst had eight killed and 37 wounded from a crew of 222, while the French ship lost 47 killed and 73 wounded from a crew of 339. Recriminations among the British officers began within minutes of the French surrender: Mends took possession of Niémen and sent a note to Seymour informing him that he had seized the valuable French nautical charts and the French captain's personal stores. The note also requested that Seymour send back Arethusa's surgeon, who had gone aboard Amethyst to assist with the wounded, so that Mends could be ready to leave without notice.

The Helmuth was also attacked, but despite sustaining severe damage both craft were able to limp to safety, carrying several wounded. From outside the harbour Fox and Goliath responded with a heavy barrage, demolishing several streets in the town, including the Governor's Palace.

Later crime analysts have disputed the suicide conclusion. American true crime author Jay Robert Nash said in his book Open Files: A Narrative Encyclopedia of the World's Greatest Unsolved Crimes (1983) that there was no evidence of Faithfull ever having been aboard the Île de France, and little evidence that she had committed suicide, compared to more evidence that her death had been homicide. Goodman, in his The Passing of Starr Faithfull (1990), stated that she could not have gone aboard the Île de France because it sailed at 10 pm while she was still visiting Dr. Roberts. Also it was docked close enough to the Carmania that she would not have taken a cab to it.

Over the ensuing months and years, Duncan's fleet was largely successful in protecting the North Sea trade routes from the depredations of raiders from the Batavian ports and in 1797 inflicted a crushing defeat on the Batavian fleet at the Battle of Camperdown.Gardiner, p. 176 Meanwhile, the reaction in the Batavian Republic was one of great indignation. In a resolution of 3 September 1795 the Provisionele Representanten van het Volk van Holland, the Dutch representative at the Danish Court, Christiaan Bangeman Huygens, was ordered to complain about the violation of Danish neutrality (as Norwegian/Danish pilots had already gone aboard the Dutch ships, indicating that those had entered Danish territorial waters, as the resolution noted) and to demand that Denmark would make representations at the Court of St. James's to obtain the return of the Alliantie.

Vass had told Neill-Fraser's trial in 2010 that she had not gone aboard the yacht from which the deceased Bob Chappell had disappeared, but a statutory declaration made by her to the effect that she had been aboard the yacht and knew what had become of Bob Chappell had been supplied to police. During the hearing of the appeal it was alleged by the State of Tasmania that a former detective, Colin McLaren, had fabricated the statutory declaration and had come up with a plan to pay Vass $10,000 for adopting the declaration. It was also alleged that Neill-Fraser herself had attempted to cause Vass to sack Cangelosi, because Cangelosi was expected to ask Vass whether the statutory declaration was the product of coercion. The circumstances of his representation were themselves the subject of some controversy, with The Age reporting that Tasmania Police had informed Ms Vass’ lawyers that they want to interview her about perverting the course of justice in respect of the ongoing appellate proceedings launched by Neill-Fraser, and also wished to interview Cangelosi "about matters not subject to legal privilege, including when he was retained to act for Ms Vass, and by whom".
