HASTINGS, WARREN, Esq. of Daylesford-House, near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, son of the Rev. Mr. H. rector of Churchill, near Daylesford, born about 1732. His father having left him unpro

vided for, he was sent to Westminster School by his uncle, whose executor, Mr. Creswick, an E. India Director, procured for him a writership in India, whither he proceeded in 1749. In 1756 he was one of the English prisoners carried off to Moorshedabad, by order of the nabob of Bengal, Surejah Dowla, on whose deposition he was appointed minister at the court of his successor. In 1761 be became a member of the government of Bengal and about 1765 returned to England and it is a singular fact, that on the failure of the remittances of part of his acquisitions, he had not interest to obtain at first his re-appointment to an official situation in Bengal. His exami nation at the bar of the H. of Com. during an inquiry into the affairs of the Company, led to his nomination, in 1767, as a member of the council of Madras; and in 1771 he was elevated to the government of Bengal, over which he presided till his return to England, in 1785. An impeachment was instituted against him in the ensuing session of Parliament, for mal-administration; his trial commenced in 1788, and seven years afterwards he was acquitted of all the charges preferred against him. His law 60,000l.; in consideration of which, and expenses on this occasion exceeded his public services, the E. Ind. Company voted him an annual pension of 4000l. for twenty-eight years and a half. Since that period Mr. H. has lived in retire ment; from which he was recently called to give evidence at the bar of the H. of Com. on the application of the E. India Comp. for a renewal of the Charter. The term of his pension having expired in 1813, the same sum has by a recent vote been secured to him for life.Some elegant pieces of fugitive poetry from his pen have occasionally found their way before the public, and he is the author of:
