“ Soon after the renewal of hostilities, Lieutenant Packwood was appointed first of the Diomede 50, bearing the flag of Sir James Saumarez, at Guernsey, where he continued until Sir John Orde obtained a foreign command, when he joined the latter officer, as senior Lieutenant of the Glory 98. ”

“ He subsequently served in the Matilda 24, Captain Henry Mitford, and the Caesar 80, Captain Sir James Sauraarez, in which latter ship he continued until the peace of Amiens; and consequently bore a part in the battle off Algeziras, July 6, 1801. ”
