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.

Robert, 1st Marquess of Londonderry and his younger brother, Alexander Stewart of Ards, were on close terms all their lives - as the 64 letters written by the one to the other, 1771-1774, 1796 and 1800-1814, attest.
Robert, 1st Marquess of Londonderry, had married in 1766, as his first wife, a daughter of the 1st Marquess of Hertford; Alexander Stewart Junior did not marry until 1791, and his one and only wife was a grand-daughter of the same Lord Hertford.
Alexander Stewart Junior's eldest son, Alexander Robert Stewart, was born in 1795, and was thus a generation younger than his first cousin, the 2nd Marquess of Londonderry, and nearly a generation younger than the 3rd Marquess, also a first cousin.

Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh (1769-1822) The son of an Irish peer, Castlereagh conceived an intense antipathy to revolutionary movements as a result of a trip to Paris in 1791 as the French Revolution entered its darker phase.
On Perceval's assassination in 1812 Castlereagh's old rival, George Canning (with whom he fought a duel on Putney Heath in 1809) failed in his bid to succeed to the premiership, and Castlereagh, already Foreign Secretary, became Leader of the Commons in the government headed by the Earl of Liverpool.
Over the next ten years he was placed under enormous strain as he negotiated the end of the war with France, the period of political unrest which resulted in the Peterloo massacre of 1819, and the shabby affair of the divorce of King George IV and Queen Caroline.
