PELIIANI AND MONTAGUE PACKETS.
Lord NUGENT, adverting to his firmer opinion
on this subject, declared, that *hat had since trans.
pired had convinced him that it was a case in which
much private injustice and public misconduct had
been displayed on the part of the Pest Office ; the
officers of which had preferred die claims of an un-
deserving individual to those of a deserving man.—
The person in question was promoted, atter proceed.
ings of inquiry which were totally ex parte, Mr. Per-
ing, of the Pelham, being then abroad ; and although
a second Court had decided, that but for the good
eendoct of the Pelham the Montague must have
struck her colours. The case was rendered much
stronger by the Post Office not giving any effect to
its own Court of Inquiry; but, on the contrary, had
in vain endeavoured to impugn the veracity and ho.
nour of Captain Pering. It was extraordiam y what
cause the Post Office could have for psrticul.srly
advocating the claims of Captain Watkins. Ha was
poimoted, as appeared by the pipers before the
House, at the express advice of Mr. Freeling to Lord
Chichester. His Lordship then read extracts Irrum
the papers, describing the action between those pic-,
kets- and the American privateer, the particulars of
which 'have already been before the public, from
which he insisted that it was proved that the fig of
die Montague had been struck by Captain Watkins's
drder, though this person had declared se evidence,l
that he was senseless below, after being wounded ;
and yet, though in this situation, he pretended to
pure that the guns of the Montague bad never ceased
tiling till the American sheered off. The Noble
Lord then ploceeded to read various letters in fivour
at Mr. l'eriag,
.describing him to be as brave a man
as ever walked a deck. He accused the Post Office
of suppressing some parts of the evidence, and misre-
presenting others, and contended that he had made
out a sufiieient case for inquiry. Captain Pering had
laid no claims for reward, but had come forward
merely as a petitioner for justice to the character of
himself and his crew. He concluded by moving that
the papers on this subject be referred to a Select
Committee.
Mr. LUSHINGTON felt it his duty to oppose
the motion. Captain Watkins, the person promo-
ted, ricLiy deserved that reward fur his services and
his bravery. The Right Honourable Gentleman en-
tered into a detail of the action, and contended that
from want of skill, Mr. Pering had given no assist-
ance to the Montague. The mail had been lost. in
consequence of one of the men, thinking the Mon-
tague in danger of being captured, through want of
assistance troth the Pelham, having thrown it over-
board. There eras no question between the merits
of Mr. Watkins and Mr. Pering ; the former having
been in the service of the Post-Office upwards of '2O
years, while the !attar was merely an amateur who
went out on that particular occasion, engaged by the
owner of the vessel, and had never been in the ser-
vice of the Post-Office. He assured the Noble Lord
that the impression on his mind from the evidence
was, that the colones of the Montague had never
bees struck, but having been shot away, were re.
hoisted.
Mr. PRESTON insisted that Mr. Pering was an
oppressed and injured man, and that whoever would
carefully read the papers must be of the same opi-
nion as his Noble Friend. The injuries and insults
heaped on the Petitioner could only be redressed by
the Committee proposed. It was not any want of
skill on the part of Captain Pering, but on that of
Captain NorlAnd, who was killed, and whom Wat-
kins succeeded, who had placed Captain P. in such
a situation that he could render no assistance. He
reprehended the precipitant recommendation of Mr.
Freeling in behalf of Mr. lVatkins, who, he could
prove, had positively ordered the colours to be hauled
doln.
Mr. ROSE thought the case the least worthy of
the interposition of the House of any that he had
ever witnessed in the course of his long Parliainen.
tary career. He commented on various parts of the
evidence, to prove that every thing that was possible
had been done by the Montague, which had 17 men
killed and wounded out of '2B. He was convinced,
from the evidence, that the colours had been shot
away. He justified the promotion of Mr. Watkins,
and declared his opinion that Mr. Pering was, from
his ignorance and want of skill, totally unfit to com-
mand a packet. He might have had a Court Mar-
tial, but declined it, rrobably thinking that, because
he knew a Member of PorliaMenr, that House was
the proper place to truing his ca:c to. He maintained
that he (Mr. P.) Ind no grievance whatever to com-
plain ul. The very lact of las halving sent ch.ti-
lenge to the Globe, American privateer, was :Mine

sufficient to distittalify hint.; ..2t tit pietal. had no.
thing to do but to make their voyage, and only to
defend themselves when attacked.
Mr GORDON opposed the motion, as he thoup.l::
there were no grounds fur iustituting an enquiry min,'
' the conduct of Mr. Pering, as he bad declined en.
quiry in the first instance.
Mr.J. P. GRANT thought .Mr. Peeing ill use
and therefore considered the motion of the NOS::
Lord to be one which ought to be entertained by ti,,
tiguse. He should therefore vote for the Committec
Lord NUGENT shortly replied, after which iie
question was put, and the motion negatived a
a division.
Mr. PEELE obtained leave to bring in two Bills, one to • R.
