AHC: Extend the Napoleonic Wars

In our timeline, the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars lasted from 1792 to 1815 - a period of twenty-three years.

Your task, if you wish to accept it, is to double that length to forty-six years, meaning that it would come to an end in 1838.

Bonus points if you can have this be a period of continuous warfare (i.e. no Treaty of Amiens-style pause).
 
The easiest way to do this is the British to maintain their supremacy at sea, and Napoleon to remain dominant on the continent, but with ongoing skirmishes and raids by the British and their allies. The British won't want to recognise France's continental supremacy and the French won't want to allow British colonial dominance, so neither side wants to sign a peace treaty.

So Napoleon achieves a detent with the Russians? Or does he send the Grande Armee to Spain, expelling Wellington?
 
Napolean somehow still on power and dying around 1835 with William IV dying soon after. Napolean II (or maybe another brother never realized in this TL?) and Victoria decide their contest will be based on trade, not military conquest. France builds a Navy but it never matches the Royal Navy, Britain never has the ties to Continental Europe it did before the wars began. US and others play each off the other, neither Italy or Germany ever effectively unite. One of the few things London and Paris agree on is keeping Russia from carving up the Ottomans like a steak.
