uss frolick got a reaction from Canute in Chris Watton and Vanguard Models news and updates Volume 2
I recall reading the Admiralty Court of Enquiry for the loss of HMS Levant, 20, in 1815 when she and HMS Cyane fought the USS Constitution, that the crew was unable to shift their two long nine pounders to the stern chase position, because the sloop was unable to steer with them in place. This was after the Cyane had surrendered, and the shattered Levant was trying to escape.

Seems more likely that they would have cut an additional pair of ports aft the main-chains, than to permanently arm the stern ports.

Seriously. The Cumberland, Boston's "other famous frigate", is very well documented with deck plans, inboard profiles and sail plans as an 1856 corvette-conversion, from the US National Archives (which I do possess.) Even Howard Chapelle called her "magnificent". The last American frigate to go into battle under sail (at Fort Hatteras, 1861), she fought the Ironclad Virginia in March 1862 for forty minutes, and sank with her colors flying and her guns firing. 121 brave sailors lost.

The Civil War sailing frigate/corvette USS Cumberland would be popular.

that is.
I am not sure if those windows overlap with the ship framing (on some French ships they do), but quarter galleries usually did not have open windows to the stern.

Trincomalee
L'Africaine - note how the dotted contour of the frame crosses the second window and the position of the door inside.
There were different manners of decorating the places where those windows would be, from putting dummy window frames or wooden blinds to various decorations there, but since the plan shows framed window, so it should be.
