After the war, Hay commanded HMS Warspite on the North American and West Indies station from 17 August 1841 to October 1845. It was Warspite which, in 1842, carried Lord Ashburton to America to negotiate the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. After briefly serving as superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard, Hay was returned as Member of Parliament for Windsor in 1847. He was also appointed Fourth Naval Lord in 1846 and Third Naval Lord in 1847.
