  Montague took part in the Battle of Cape St Vincent in 1780 and the Glorious First of June in 1794.
  On 30 October 1794 Montague and Ganges captured the French corvette Jacobine. Jacobine was armed with twenty-four 12-pounder guns, and had a crew of 220 men; she was nine days out of Brest and taken nothing. The Royal Navy took Jacobin into service as HMS Matilda.
  She was driven ashore and damaged at Saint Lucia in the Great Hurricane of 1780 but recovered.
  In 1813 Captain Peter Heywood was appointed to command the Montagu in the North Sea and afterwards in the Mediterranean under Lord Exmouth, until July 1816. This was Heywood's last service.
