	The Heroes And Gardens Of Cintra
		To leave Cintra with nothing more than an allusion to its hills and vales and forests and palaces and quintas and views, is not sufficient to one who has passed many summer months there and has become familiar with all its charming characteristics, its nature and art.
		It was from the mountains of Cintra that this monarch discovered the great fleet of English, French, and Flemings who were on their way to the Holy Land to redeem the Holy Sepulchre, and whom he induced to join him in relieving Lisbon from Moorish rule.
		Among the remarkable spots in Cintra is a cave or den dug out among boulders, cut out of rock, floored by the primary foundations of the earth, and roofed with artificial tiles.

	Inquiry into the Convention of Cintra 1808
		The Inquiry into the Convention of Cintra was held at the Royal College at Chelsea, London from 14 November to 27 December 1808.
		It appears that pains were taken to misrepresent and raise a clamour in Portugal against this convention; but when it was generally known, and its effects felt, the people of Lisbon, and of the country, seem to have expressed their gratitude and thanks for the benefits attending it.
		In the present instance, the operation of the convention upon the affairs of Spain was a consideration of primary interest; and in that view the inevitable effect of some of the articles offers itself to my mind as liable to material objection.

		However, when the crackling of musketry from the east was heard Soult sprang into life and soon afterwards General Foy, with three battalions of infantry, was attacking the Seminary in a bid to regain the building.
		Artillery was brought up also but British guns, firing from the convent on the southern bank of the river, silenced them and Foy's attempts at recapturing the building proved fruitless.
		Further up the river, to the west, the local people had come out of their houses to bring more barges across from the quayside and soon the 1/29th was crossing the river followed by the Coldstream and 3rd Foot Guards under Sherbrooke.

	William Wordsworth
		Evidence of a decisive turn in Wordsworth's social and political views--and, by extension, his poetical views as well--during this period is to be found in The Convention of Cintra (1809), an extended political tract concerning the British expedition to Portugal to fight against Napoleon's forces encamped on the Spanish peninsula.
		Throughout The Convention of Cintra Wordsworth seems to have given himself over to rigid abstractions such as Patriotism, Justice, and Power, and it is possible to argue that the diminution of Wordsworth's poetic power dates from this period.
		In fact, one is able to gain a clearer appreciation of Wordsworth's later political thinking from this and other letters of the period than from The Convention of Cintra with its overblown rhetoric.

		When on the point of sending Junot to a court-martial for his capitulation, Napoleon learnt that the British Government had ordered its own generals to be brought to trial for permitting the enemy to escape them.
		If the Convention of Cintra gained little glory for England, the tidings of the successful uprising of the Spanish people against Napoleon, and of Dupont's capitulation at Baylen, created the deepest impression in every country of Europe that still entertained the thought of resistance to France.

		Only as far as there was a prospect of forcing the enemy to an unconditional submission, did the British Nation deem that they had a right to interfere;—if that prospect failed, they expected that their army would know that it became it to retire, and take care of itself.
		Another letter from a magistrate inveighs against the Convention, as leaving the crimes of the French in Portugal unpunished; as giving no indemnification for all the murders, robberies, and atrocities which had been committed by them.
		Condemnation of actions and men like these is not, in the minds of a people, (thanks to the divine Being and to human nature!) a matter of choice; it is like a physical necessity, as the hand must be burned which is thrust into the furnace—the body chilled which stands naked in the freezing north-wind.

		On 8 March, 1798, he contracted a civil marriage with the widow of Alexandre de Beauharnais, Marie Joséphine Rose Tascher de la Pagerie, who was born in Martinique, in 1763, of a family originally belonging to the neighbourhood of Blois.

		If it have not the kindling eloquence which is Demosthenic, and that axiomatic statement of principles which is Baconian, of the 'Convention,' every sentence and epithet pulsates—as its very life-blood—with a manly scorn of the false, the base, the sordid, the merely titularly eminent.

	NAPOLEONS LEGACY
		The Spaniards are like other peoples, and are not a class apart; they will be happy to accept the imperial institutions." While the grandees and officials of Madrid were accepting an en-lightened constitution from Napoleon at Bayonne, the provinces of Spain were flaming into spontaneous revolt.
		The bulk of the Spanish regular forces were easily routed at Medina del Rio Seco (July 1808), and Napoleon, under-rating the possibilities of further resistance, ordered Dupont, with two divisions, to march to the south and occupy Cadiz.
		By the Convention of 1807, Prussia had undertaken to limit her army to 42,000 men, but this restriction was evaded by employing a disproportionate number of officers and passing men rapidly through the ranks for short-service training.

		He sent an army under Junot to Portugal, which refused to adhere to the Continental System, another under Murat, to Spain because he was uncertain of her loyalty.
		When he placed his brother Joseph Napoleon on the Spanish throne many of the nobles and clergy rebelled against the French, while a British army, under Wellesley (Wellington), landed in Portugal, defeated Junot at Vimeiro (1808) and forced him to evacuate Portugal under the terms of the Convention of Cintra.
		Thus began the Peninsular War, which was to occupy a large part of the French army until 1813 when Wellington routed the French and forced them out of Spain.

	Paul Youngquist, On Russett's _De Quincey's Romanticism_ - Romantic Circles Reviews, Romantic Circles
		Russett follows this textualized family romance through its strangest episode, Wordsworth's attempt to enter the field of contemporary political debate with his pamphlet, The Convention of Cintra (1809).
		For all the promise of his economic speculations, it would appear that De Quincey falls victim to demon opium, and Russett to a rather conventional moralizing against it.
		Thus the visionary architecture of De Quincey's dreams is only "a vision of grandeur tinged with vulgarity" that "exemplifies luxury taste or commodity fetishism while at the same time suggesting their very opposite: it is not, of course, materially transferable nor available to be bought at any price" (169).
