	Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh
		The son, known in history as Lord Castlereagh, was born on the 18th of June in the same year as Napoleon and Wellington.
		In Lord Camden, as afterwards in Lord Cornwallis, Castlereagh found a congenial chief; though his favor with these statesmen was jealously viewed both by the Irish oligarchy and by the English politicians who wished to keep the machine of Irish administration in their own hands.
		Castlereagh's words in parliament were, "Whatever measures you adopt or decision you arrive at must rest on your own power and not on reliance on this man." Napoleon promptly published the secret treaty which Castlereagh had concluded with Metternich and Talleyrand, and the last left in the French archives.

	Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite his many achievements, Castlereagh was extremely unpopular within the country as a result of his supposed reactionism abroad, and his association with the repressive measures of the Home Secretary, Lord Sidmouth.
		Lord Londonderry was buried in the Abbey in the shadow of his mentor, William Pitt the Younger; a funeral monument was not erected until 1850 by his half-brother and successor, the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry.
		Castlereagh spoke three languages: English, his mother tongue, French, the language of his trade, and Latin, which he learned at Cambridge.

	The Castlereagh Inkstand - Victoria and Albert Museum
		To explore the Castlereagh Inkstand fully is to examine the roots of some of the central issues of European history in the last 200 years from the story of Poland, to the relative decline of France, and the unification and rise of Germany.
		Castlereagh's heavy burden of work as Foreign Secretary and Leader of the House of Commons (where he continued to sit after he inherited an Irish peerage as Marquess of Londonderry in 1821) appears to have deranged his mind in the summer of 1822.
		Castlereagh's diamond-set Garter insignia, hatband and sword were a striking part of his dashing appearance at the coronation of George IV in 1821.

	Castlereagh, Robert Stewart, 2d Viscount. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Castlereagh placed great hope in the congress system”; agreed on at Vienna, by which the great powers would consult regularly for the maintenance of peace.
		However, he did not approve of outright intervention in the domestic affairs of other countries and protested, in increasingly explicit terms, the assumption of this right by the powers of the Holy Alliance.
		One of the foremost statesmen of his time, Castlereagh was cold in personality and lacked ability as an orator; he never gained an easy popularity and was hated by radicals like Shelley.

	Lord Castlereagh
		This was not the case, and the summer of 1819 saw a series of large gatherings in favour of parliamentary reform, culminating in the massive public meeting at Manchester on 16th August 1819.
		In November 1819, Parliament was assembled and Castlereagh introduced in the House of Commons the severe measures that became known as the Six Acts.
		Castlereagh, who was the government's spokesman for civil matters in the House of Commons, along with Lord Liverpool and Lord Sidmouth, the Home Secretary, took the blame for these repressive measures and the men were booed whenever they appeared in public.

		Lord Castlereagh then emphasised the fact that Ireland would not be called upon to bear any part of the British National Debt, and said that the ninth section of the financial article gave Ireland a share in whatever sum might be produced from the territorial revenues in India.
		But Lord Castlereagh was trying to prove that the revenue of Ireland was not equal to her expenditure, and that nothing but a legislative Union would save the country from bankruptcy, and he had therefore over-estimated the peace establishment.
		Lord Castlereagh did his best to answer Foster's prophecies as to the probable financial effects of the Union, and he maintained that Ireland would in the next five years, taken in the proportion of two of war and three of peace, save under the Union arrangements nearly ten millions.

	George Canning
		The hatred of the aristocracy, for which Lord Holland says he was noted at Oxford, would naturally deter an ambitious young man with his way to make in the world, and with no fixed principles, from attaching his fortune to the Whigs.
		In view of the failing health of the Duke of Portland he told his colleague, Spencer Perceval, chancellor of the exchequer, that a new prime minister must be found, that he must be in the House of Commons, that the choice lay between them, adding that he might not be prepared to serve as subordinate.
		In April of 1809 he had told the Duke of Portland that Lord Castlereagh, secretary for the colonies and war, was in his opinion unfit for his post, and must be removed to another office.

		Castlereagh submitted his views to them, reminding them of the suspicion of disloyalty under which the Catholics of Ireland lay since the insurrection of the year before.
		On 27 May May, Lord Grenville presented a petition for the Catholics in the Lords, and, in moving for a committee, proposed an effective veto for the king on the appointment of bishops.

		Throughout the ministry of Lord North the duke remained in opposition, and when, in April 1782, the Marquis of Rockingham returned to power, he was sent to Ireland as lord-lieutenant, and his brother-in-law, Lord John Cavendish, became chancellor of the exchequer.
		He therefore combined with Lord John Cavendish to request the king to make the Duke of Portland prime minister, and when the request was refused they both resigned, and their resignations were followed by those of the duke himself, Burke, and Sheridan.
		Lord Titchfield and George Canning had married sisters, the two daughters and heiresses of the successful gambler, General Scott, and they had become very intimate friends; Lord Titchfield caught Canning's enthusiastic feelings for Pitt, and his enthusiasm reacted on the old duke.

	Newshound: Links to daily newspaper articles about Northern Ireland
		The name Castlereagh is derived from the ‘Cáisleán Riabhach’ or ‘Grey Castle’ of the O’Neill clan in the 13th century which once perched on the Castlereagh Hills.
		Of course, it was also the title taken by the Tory, Robert Stewart, who as the hated Lord Castlereagh and Chief Secretary to Ireland, ruthlessly crushed the 1798 rebellion, crucially with the help of agents, which was quite apposite, given the later association of Castlereagh Barracks with informers.
		Activists who went through Castlereagh were offered huge bribes, the guarantee of immunity from prosecution no matter what actions they had previously carried out and were told they could still kill and bomb to maintain their cover provided they joined the British side.

		Lord Sidmouth (Henry Addington) is engulfed in a cloud of wig powder, and politician and playwright Sheridan, his harlequin outfit hanging on the wall, pulls a white shirt over his head.
		Lord Howick (Charles Grey), ex-First Lord of the Admiralty, in the role of Charon, uses a “Whig Club” as a punt-pole; the sail, inscribed “Catholic Emancipation,” is now torn and useless.
		Particularly imaginative is Lord Grenville as Scorpio Broad-Bottom: his small claws bear the heads of Grenville’s nephew, Temple; Lord Spencer; the Duke of Bedford; Lord Moira; and Tierney, while his broad-bottom forms a glowing ring, containing a chalice with the Host, surrounded by the heads of assorted Whigs.

		And, in the same month, Lord Castlereagh was returned after two expensive and unsuccessful attempts to get into parliament, the first for Durham in 1874 and the second for Montgomery in 1877, as Conservative MP for Co. Down in a by-election in which he defeated his Liberal opponent by a large majority.
