BARRINGTON, SAMUEL (1729-1800) , British admiral, was the fourth son of the 1st Viscount Barrington. He entered the navy at an early age and in 1747 had worked his way to a post-captaincy. He was in continuous employment during the peace of 1748-1756, and on the outbreak of the Seven Years' War served with Hawke in the Basque roads in command of the " Achilles " 6o). In 1759 the " Achilles " captured a powerful French
privateer
 , after two hours' fighting. In the
Havre
 -de-Grace expedition of the same year Barrington's ship carried the flag of Rear-Admiral Rodney, and in 176o sailed with John Byron to destroy the Louisburg fortifications. At the peace in 1763 Barrington had been almost continuously afloat for twenty-two years. He was next appointed in 1768 to the frigate "
Venus
