Upon the conclusion of the war, 1814, he was advanced to the dignity of the peerage for his brilliant services. In 1817, he was appointed governor of Barbadoes, and commander of the forces in the West Indies; and in 1825, commanderin-chief of the forces in Bengal, for his services in which command, and particularly the capture of Bhurtpore, he was elevated to the rank of viscount.

seated there antecedently to the Norman conquest.
