What year are you looking at? There was an Earl St Vincent used as a convict transport in the 1820's, in which case it would not be insured as a merchant and not in Lloyd's list.

ago at Quebec the fine East Indiaman, Earl St. Vincent of 868 registered tons and for which paid £5,500 in Bills of Exchange at 5% discount, the present rate, is £5210-10-6 sterling; The Earl St. Vincent was in the transport service and having met with some misfortune the last Winter she was sold for account of the Underwriters;
I can't find any reference to her damage in Lloyd's List
