This officer entered the Navy, 4 Oct. 1805, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the 16, Capts. Jas. Wilkes Maurice, Wm. Robilliard, and Wm. Perrie. During a servitude of more than five years in that sloop he assisted, as Midshipman, at the capture, in 1808, of the Spanish privateer Don Quixote, and was present at the reduction, in 1809-10, of the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. After a further attachment to the 16, and  74, Capts. Colin Campbell and Wm. Prowse, in the latter of which ships we find him employed in escorting the East India trade, Mr. Andrews, about the end of 1813, became Master’s Mate of the, of 42 guns and 284 men, Capt. Edm. Palmer, under whom, on 27 March, 1814, he commanded the forecastle guns, and received three severe contusions at the capture of the French frigate L’Etoile, of 44 guns and 315 men, which surrendered after a close and obstinate combat of two hours and a quarter, that cost the British a loss of 13 men killed and 25 wounded, and the enemy of 40 killed and 73 wounded. He afterwards, while in the same ship, assisted in landing a body of troops up the Patuxent, witnessed the destruction of Commodore Barney’s flotilla, and was further present at the re-embarkation of the army after the capture of Washington. In Nov. 1814, having been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 27 of the previous May, Mr. Andrews joined the 18, Capt. John Fisher, on the Halifax station, where he continued until Sept. 1815. He next, from 7 Nov. 1818, to 4 Feb. 1819, served in the Coast Blockade as Supernumerary-Lieutenant of the 40, Capt. Wm. M‘Culloch, but since the latter date has been on half-pay.

 ANDREWS. 

(b) was born in 1782.

This officer entered the Navy, 4 Oct. 1803, as Midshipman, on board the 12, Lieut.Commanders Bevan, Dundas, and Simpson, on the Home station, where, in June, 1805, he joined the  18, Capts. Geo. Digby, Fras. Newoombe, and Wm. Brooking Dolling. While under Capt. Newcombe he assisted at the capture of the Hazard, Vengeur, and Fortune, privateers, carrying altogether 44 guns and 155 men; bore a warm part in the destruction of the French shipping in Basque Roads, 11 April, 1809; and accompanied the ensuing expedition to Flushing. In the early part of 1811 he was thrice recommended for promotion by his Captain for his gallant conduct on as many different occasions: the first time, in consideration of his having with a detached party captured three smuggling-boats, after he had landed and had desperately fought their crews, although supported by a body of French soldiers; secondly, for the spirited manner in which, with a single boat, he had compelled two sloops to run on shore near Boulogne; and next, for having in a similar manner chased and put to flight an enemy’s privateer. On another occasion Mr. Andrews, with but one boat again under his orders, and within sight of the French shore, effected the capture, in the handsomest manner, of two other smuggling-vessels. His exertions were at length rewarded with a commission, dated 20 July, 1811; after which he appears to have served, from Jan. 1812, to Jan. 1815, on board the sloop, Capts. Wm. Shepheard and Geo. Wm. Blainey, on the Newfoundland, West India, and Mediterranean stations. He has not since been afloat.

Lieut. Andrews married, in 1815, Miss Mary Rowse Brooking, by whom he has issue ten children.

On 3 May, 1810, Mr. Andros further participated in a brilliant victory gained by the in the Bay of Naples over a Franco-Neapolitan squadron, carrying in the whole 95 guns and about 1400 men, on which occasion the British lost 10 men killed and 22 wounded, and the enemy about 41 killed and 90 wounded.

While in the Dictator, on the Baltic station, we find Mr. Andros serving in the boats of that ship at the cutting out of a Danish lugger; and, on 6 July, 1812, assisting, in company with the 18, at the capture and destruction, within the rocks of Mardoe, on the coast of Norway, of an entire Danish squadron, consisting of the Nayaden, of 48 guns, the Laland, Samsoe, and Kiel sloops, and several gunboats, after a long conflict, which cost the  a loss of 5 men killed and 24 wounded, and the enemy of 300 killed and wounded.
