614  of Post-Captain, Dec. 16th following; and some time after appointed to the Prince of Wales a second rate, bearing the flag of his uncle, the late Sir Henry Harvey, K.B., with whom he proceeded to the West Indies, and served at the conquest of the island of Trinidad. After this event, which took place in the month of Feb. 1797, he was sent to England with despatches; and subsequently obtained the command of the Southampton, of 32 guns, in which frigate he was again ordered to the Leeward island station, where he continued during the remainder of the war, and assisted at the reduction of the Virgin islands, by Sir John T. Duckworth, in 1801.

His next appointment appears to have been in the summer of 1804, to the Agamemnon, of 64 guns, which ship formed part of Sir Robert Calder’s fleet in the action with the combined squadrons of France and Spain, July 22, 1805, and on that occasion had several men wounded, besides being much cut up in her spars and rigging. About the month of September in the same year, Captain Harvey removed into the Canada, a 74-gun ship. He subsequently commanded the Leviathan of the same class in the Mediterranean; and in Aug., 1811, was appointed to the Royal Sovereign a first rate, in which he continued till the general promotion, Aug. 12, 1812, when he obtained the command of a royal yacht. His advancement to the rank of Rear-Admiral took place Dec. 4, 1813; and in 1815, he hoisted his flag on board the Antelope, of 50 guns, as Commander-in-Chief at the Leeward islands, where he remained during the customary period of three years.
