WARREN  . (1753-1822), English admiral, was born at Stapleford, Nottinghamshire, on the 2nd of September 1753, being the son and heir of John Boriase Warren (d . 1775) of Stapleford and Little Marlow . He was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and in 1771 entered the navy as an able seaman; in 1774 he became member of parliament for Marlow; and in 1775 he was created a baronet, the baronetcy held by his ancestors, the Borlases, having become extinct in 1689 . His career as a seaman really began in 1777, and two years later he obtained command of a ship . In April 1794, in charge of a squadron of frigates, Warren captured three French frigates, and in similar ways he did excellent service for some time in protecting British trade . In 1796 he is said to have captured or destroyed 220 vessels . Perhaps his best deed in the service was the defeat in October 1798 of a French fleet, carrying 5000 men, which it was intended to land in Ireland, a plan which he completely frustrated . In 1802 he was sent to St Petersburg as ambassador extraordinary, but he did not forsake the sea, and in 18o6 he captured a large French war-ship, the " Marengo." He became an admiral in 181o, and was commander-in-chief on the North American station in 1813—1814 . He died on the 27th of February 1822 . His two sons predeceased their father, and his daughter and heiress, Frances Maria (1784—1837), married George Charles Venables-Vernon, 4th Lord Vernon (1779—1835) . Their son was George John Warren Vernon, 5th Lord Vernon (1803—1866) .
