age. He was barn April 14, 1761, and entered the
navy in Nov., 1774, as midsh:pman, on board the
Pallas, 36, Capt. Hon. W. Coruwalli, with whom
he oantinned to serve, in the 50 gun ships Isis;

the coasts of Africa, and North America, and in
the West Indies, until 1779. During that period
he was present, in the Isis, at the at'acks on Red
Bank and Mud Fort, in Oct. and Nov. 1777 ; and,
as master's mate of the L'on, 'took pare, July 6,
1779, in the adie.' Uttreen Vice-Adm'ra Hon. J.
Byrbn and the Come d'Estaing off Granada, on
which occasion the latter ship w fearfully cut up,
and endured a loss of 21 killed and 30 wounded. j

of -liAitenant, March 6, 171'8, shortly aft,rwar is
jnined the Hinchinbroke, 28, Capt. 1-I•Tatio Nt.l-
- whom he accompani,,,d in 178,1, in the arma-
went against Port St. Juan, on the Spanish Main.
-at, then roturnei to the Lion ; an 1, ou:being lent

to the Prince George, 90, he participated as officer,
in charge of half the middle gt, to-deck, in Itedn-y's
vietiry over the C )nate de Grasse, April 12, 1782,
after a glorious conflict, in which the Prince George
occupied a very conspicu els position, and bad 9
men killed and 20 wounded. On the 6th Feb , 1793,,
he was app'einted to the Agamemnon, 64, Capt.
Horatio Nelson, actively employed in the IViedi.er-
raneal ; and, September 11 following, to the Vie-
t Ty, 100, flag shin of L .rd Hood, at Toulon. At
the Clefence of the latter place against the revolu-
tonists he held for three weeks -the volunte3red
command of Fort Mulerave, where the bursting of
a 36-pounder killed and woundei every one pre-
sent except himself and Captain Walter Serocold.
In the Proselyte frigate, with the view of rescuing
300 Spanish and Neapolitan troops, who would
otherwise inevitably have fallen into the hands of
-the French, he was last, when Toulon was evacu-
ated, to quit the harbour ; and s' impracticable
had his escape, in consequence of his volun,ary act
of humanity, been considered, that Lord Hood, in
the dispatches be was about to send home, hid ac-
tually returned the Proselyte as lost. During the
early part of the siege of Basti, in March, 1794,
Captain Mien- serve.f as a volunteer under Capt.
Serocold, who had superseded him in the Prose-
lyte,
_out of which ship they were both burned by
red-hot shot, and towirds the close of the opera-
tions he commanded an advanced battery. His
services throughout were reported by Nelson in the
highest possible t3rms. He invalided in July of
the same year, and was afterwards, in the course of
1796, appointed as a volunteer t r the Santa Mar
garitta, of 40 guns and 237 men, Captain Thomas
Byam Martin, and as co:l:inlander and acting cap-
tain to the courge, sloop, and Alexander, 74, in
the first of which ships he assisted in the manage-
in.ent of the main-deck guns, tzncl distinguished
himself by his meritorious conduct at the recapture
on June 8, near Waterford, of the Titmise, of' 40
guns and 306 men, of whom 32 were kiled and 19
wounded, while of the British only two were slain
and three wounded, after a close and gallant action
of twenty minutes. Captain Bullen, who was ad-
vanced to post rank November 24, 1796, subse-
quently commanded, for want of ability to procure
a ship, the Lynn Regis district of Sea Ftncibles
from Sapteml:er 26, 1804, until the disbandment of
that corps in 1810. He his since been on half-pay.
He became a rear-admiral August 28, 1819, a vice-
admiral November 12, 1840, and a full admiral
November 23, 1841. By Admiral Bullen's death
his half-pay is saved to the country, for three is no
promotion consequent upon his decease.
