Felipe de Barri (?–1784) was comandante of Alta California. He moved there from Loreto, Baja California Sur. Pedro Fages served as the military governor from July 9, 1770 to March 23, 1774 at Presidio of Monterey, California. Barri had some friction with the president of the Catholic priests of the Franciscan order, Father President Fray Vicente Mora, but for the most part it was time of peace, but Barri was quick to judge and was suspicious, fearing the return of troubles that the Jesuits were accused of. He and Francisco Palóu, administrator and historian on the Baja and Alta California had some troubles. There was a small revolt at Todos Santos.
