Navarin; an event of so recent a date as to render any comment, on our part, superfluous.
On the 13th Feb. 1828, a few days after the meeting of Parliament, Captain Fellowes was introduced to his Majesty, at Windsor, by the Lord High Admiral, and received the honor of knighthood for his gallant conduct at Navarin. He soon afterwards left London in order to resume the command of the Dartmouth, which frigate is still employed on the Mediterranean station.
The subject of this memoir was nominated a C.B. in June 1815: the Spanish Order of King Charles III. was conferred upon him April 26, 1821, as a reward for his gallant and zealous exertions at Cadiz, to which the safety of the inhabitants of that city was in a great measure owing: the insignias of the French and Russian Orders, mentioned at the commencement of this memoir, were sent to him after the battle of Navarin.
Sir Thomas Fellowes married, 1st, in Nov. 1813, Katherine Mary, eldest daughter of the late Sir William Abdy, Bart. Captain R.N. by which lady he had two sons and one daughter:– 2dly, Aug. 24, 1819, Mary Anne Catharine, only child of the late Isaac Humphrys, Esq. Colonel of the Bengal artillery, and Military Secretary to that Government, by whom he has issue two sons and three daughters.

In that ship he continued until Aug. 23, 1814.
The Bonne Citoyenne was principally employed on the South American station; and Captain Greene appears to have carried on the duties as senior officer in the Rio de la Plata,
