“ Mr. Warren obtained the rank of Lieutenant, Nov. 3, 1790; and served as such successively in the Argo of 44 guns, Ramillies 74, and Royal George, a first rate.
The Ramillies, commanded by Captain Henry Harvey, brother of Lieutenant Warren’s former commander, bore a part in the battles of May 29, and June 1, 1794, and was much cut up in her sails and rigging; fortunately, however, she only sustained a loss of 5 men killed and 7 wounded. The Royal George bore the flag of Lord Bridport in the action off l’Orient, June 23, 1795 [2] . ”

“ In the summer of 1805, he was selected by Rear-Admiral Domett to serve as his Flag-Captain in the Channel fleet; but ill health obliging that officer to give up the idea of going to sea at that period, the Glory of 98 guns, which had been fitted for his reception, was ordered to receive the flag of Rear-Admiral Stirling, under whom Captain Warren served in the action between Sir Robert Calder and M.Villeneuve, on the 22d July in the same year. ”

“ The fort of Cheribon mounted 12 guns and 4 brass swivels, and had a garrison of 133 men. This and other services performed by a squadron of frigates, to which the President was attached, were of great importance to the ultimate result of the campaign [4] .
Captain Warren has since commanded in succession the Blenheim and Bulwark, third rates, and Seringapatam of 46 guns. The latter ship conveyed Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, Ambassador to the Court of Sweden, to Stockholm, in the summer of 1823 ”
