​BARRETT. (Lieut., 1815. f-p., 32; h-p., 12.)
Joseph Faubiel Barrett, born 24 Sept. 1793, is brother of Wm. Barrett, Esq., Purser and Paymaster, R.N. (1810); and uncle of Lieut. Sam. Fowell, R.N.
This officer entered the Navy, 4 Aug. 1803, as Third-cl. Vol., on board the Borer gun-brig, Lieut.-Commander John Price, stationed in the North Sea. In May, 1804, he joined the Aurora 28, Capt. Micajah Malbon, off Newfoundland; and on accompanying the latter officer into the Hebe 32, participated in several skirmishes with the Invasion flotilla off Calais, Boulogne, and Dieppe, and on reaching the West Indies assisted in capturing, besides a variety of other vessels, the Voladore Spanish man-of-war brig, of 20 guns, and a large ​part of her convoy. Returning home, in Oct. 1809, as Midshipman of the Sandwich 12, Lieut.-Commander Foley, Mr. Barrett became attached to the Cadmus 10, Capt. Thos. Fife; while under whose command we find him figuring in several cutting-out affairs on the coast of France, and, on the occasion of the destruction of a fleet of merchant-vessels in St. Mary’s Bay, Oléron, gallantly rescuing the Semaphore signals from a brig that had already been set in flames. He was subsequently wounded in cutting out a vessel under the grand batteries of Belleisle, and on 3 March, 1810, while master of a prize which had been similarly captured, was wrecked, taken prisoner, and sent to Verdun, where he remained until the peace of 1814. From April to Aug. 1815, he next officiated as Midshipman and Master’s Mate of the Royal Sovereign 100, flag-ship of Sir Benj. Hallowell. He obtained his commission on 7 Dec. in the same year; was afterwards employed for nearly four years on the Coast Blockade, as Supernumerary-Lieutenant of the Ramillies and Talavera 74’s, both commanded by Capt. Hugh Pigot; and since 7 Sept. 1830, has been in charge of a station in the Coast Guard.
He married, 24 Sept. 1816, and has issue five children. Agent – Joseph Woodhead.

​BARRELL. (Commander, 1815. f-p., 23; h-p., 33.)
Justinian Barrell is son of the late Savage Barrell, Esq., by his wife, the sister of Gen. Rainsford; and great-grandson of the late Gen. Wm. Barrell, 15 years Colonel of the 4th, or King’s Own, and Governor of Pendennis Castle.
This officer entered the Navy, in Aug. 1791, as a Boy, on board the Brunswick 74, Capts. Sir Roger Curtis and John Harvey, under the latter of whom he fought in the battle of 1 June, 1794. He afterwards joined in succession the Russell 74, Capt. Joseph Larcom, Kingfisher 18, Capts. John Marsh, John Bligh, and John Maitland, Kent 74, bearing the flag of Lord Duncan, Veteran 64, Capt. Archibald Collingwood Dickson, Zebra bomb, Capt. Edw. Sneyd Clay, Plover 18, Capt. Edw. Galwey, and Santa Margaritta 36, Capts. Augustus Leveson Gower, Henry Whitby, and Wilson Rathbome. Of these ships (which were chiefly employed on the Home and West India stations) the Kingfisher appears to have taken part in the capture, during the year 1797, of L’Egalité national brig, and Le Général privateer; and the Kent and Veteran in the expeditions of 1799 and 1800 to Holland and Elsineur. Having passed his examination in 1802, Mr. Barrell, in July, 1805, became Acting-Lieutenant of the Despatch 18, Capts. Edw. Hawkins, Jas. Lillicrap, and Jas. Aberdour, and while in that vessel was present, 27 Sept. 1806, in a gallant engagement with the French 40-gun frigate Le Président, on which occasion he had the satisfaction, during an hour’s cannonade, of firing the only shot that hulled the enemy. On 19 Dec. 1807, after he had co-operated in the siege of Copenhagen, Mr. Barrell was at length confirmed in the rank of Lieutenant. He continued to serve in the Despatch, on the Jamaica station, until Aug. 1811; after which he joined – 23 Nov. 1811, the Loire 38, Capts. Alex. Wilmot Schomberg and Thos. Brown, employed off Lisbon and St. Helena – and, 28 July, 1813, the Gladiator, as Flag-Lieutenant at Portsmouth to Rear-Admiral Edw. Jas. Foote. In 1814 he was sent to Bordeaux to superintend the embarkation of the troops; and on 21 March, 1815, was promoted, on the occasion of Rear-Admiral Foote striking his flag, to the rank he now holds. He has not since been employed.
Commander Barrell, in 1815, submitted some valuable suggestions to the Admiralty, having for their object an improvement in the mode of supplying and receiving stores. His plan at the time attracted the very favourable notice of their Lordships. He married, in 1811, Miss Townley.
