In 1799 he was promoted to captain and March 14, 1800 to captain, with appointment as adjutant. In 1802, Uvarov retired, and on April 26, 1806, he re-entered the service as a staff captain in the cavalry regiment.
In 1807, together with the regiment participated in the Prussian War.
In this regiment in 1809 he was again promoted to the captain. With the same regiment, he participated in the Patriotic War of 1812 and, under Borodino, was wounded and awarded the Order of St. Vladimir, 4th century. with a bow.
In 1813, he was near Kulm, where he received the Order of St. Anne of the 2nd century; in the same year he was promoted to colonel.
In 1814, for distinction in the battle of Fershampenuaz, he was awarded the Order of St. George, 4th century. and received the Prussian Order of Pour le Mérite .
After returning to Russia on April 29, 1814, Uvarov was sent on leave for half a year.
At that time, he got married and, with his irritability, became widely known in society. Prince S. G. Volkonsky wrote about him [2] :
| Black Uvarov is a kind and honest fellow, but with big claims on his mind and beauty, not without the first, but without the latter, and very touchy, which told him the shade of the shooter. |
In 1816 he was released for the treatment of wounds and on 5 November of the same year he was dismissed from service in the rank of State Counselor. Later, he was a valid state councilor and chamberlain . He lived on the estate of Big Ekaterinovka of Shatsky district and was engaged in farming.
In the village he built a large park, built a glass factory.
After the Decembrists' case, he started a lawsuit for the inheritance of brother-in-law M. S. Lunin :
Lunin bequeathed the estates to cousin Nikolay in order to save his peasants from the willfulness of the “black Uvarov”. The latter makes a fuss and proves that the convict’s will is void. “Uvarov,” as Nikolai Lunin wrote, “did everything and signed for fear of her husband.” However, two days before the New Year, the tsar writes “I agree” on a document suspending Uvarov’s claims on Tambov and Saratov villages of Lunin.

Uvarov went missing in St. Petersburg on January 7, 1827. This mysterious disappearance gave rise to several versions of his fate. It was rumored that Uvarov had left his family for America. In the XX century, the hypothesis of the identity of Uvarov-Black and Siberian elder Fedor Kuzmich arose. Contemporaries, however, most often assumed suicide, caused by repentance in unseemly litigation for the Luninsky inheritance [4] . Uvarova’s wife wrote to A.H. Benkendorf :
| For five years I have left Petersburg, my stay in which has become painful for me, solely because of this Neva, where my poor husband found death. |
