See also:PEPE, GUGLIELMO (1783-1855) , Neapolitan See also:general, was See also:born at Squillace in See also:Calabria. He entered the See also:army at an See also:early See also:age, but in 1799 he took See also:part in the republican See also:movement at See also:Naples inspired by the See also:French Revolution; he fought against the See also:Bourbon troops under See also:Cardinal See also:Ruffo, was captured and exiled to See also:France. He entered See also:Napoleon's army and served with distinction in several See also:campaigns, including those in the Neapolitan See also:kingdom, first under See also:Joseph See also:Bonaparte and later under See also:Joachim See also:Murat. After commanding a Neapolitan See also:brigade in the See also:Peninsular See also:campaign, Pepe returned to See also:Italy in 1813, with the See also:rank of general, to help to reorganize the Neapolitan army. When the See also:news of the fall of Napoleon (1814) reached Italy Pepe and several other generals tried without success to force Murat to See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

escape from See also:Elba (1815) Murat, after some hesitation, placed himself on the See also:emperor's See also:side and waged See also:war against the Austrians, with Pepe on his See also:staff. After several engagements the Neapolitans were forced to retire, and eventually agreed to the treaty of Casalanza by which Murat was to abandon the kingdom; but the Neapolitan See also:officers retained their rank under See also:Ferdinand IV. who now regained the See also:throne of Naples. While engaged in suppressing See also:brigandage in the Capitanata, Pepe organized the See also:carbonari (q.v.) into a See also:national See also:militia, and was preparing to use them for See also:political purposes. He had hoped that the See also:- KING

king would end by granting a constitution, but when that See also:hope failed he meditated seizing Ferdinand, the emperor of See also:Austria, and Metternich, who were expected at See also:Avellino, and thus compelling them to liberate Italy (1819). The See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme See also:broke down through an See also:accident, but in the following See also:year a military rising broke out, the mutineers See also:cheering for the king and the constitution. Pepe himself was sent against them, but while he was hesitating as to what course he should follow Ferdinand promised a constitution (See also:July 182o). A revolt in See also:Sicily having been repressed, Pepe was appointed inspector-general of the army. In the meanwhile the king, who had no intention of respecting the constitution, went to See also:Laibach to confer. with the sovereigns of the See also:holy See also:alliance assembled there, leaving his son as See also:regent. He obtained the See also:loan of an See also:Austrian army with which to restore See also:absolute See also:power, while the regent dallied with the Liberals. Pepe, who in See also:parliament had declared in favour of deposing the king, now took command of the army and marched against the Austrians. He attacked them at See also:Rieti (See also:March 7,

Peoria was named from one of the five tribes of the Illinois See also:Indians. In 168o La Salle, the explorer, built Fort Crevecceur, on the lake See also:shore bluffs, opposite the See also:present city; this fort, however, was destroyed and deserted in the same year by La Salle's followers after he had set out to return to Fort Frontenac. There is See also:evidence that a French See also:mission was established on or near the site of Peoria as early as 1711; and certainly by 1725 a See also:settlement, known as Peoria, and composed of French and

The army was gradually disbanded, and Pepe spent several years in See also:England, France and other countries, See also:publishing a number of books and See also:pamphlets of a political See also:character and keeping up his connexion with the Carbonari. When in 1848 revolution and war broke out all over Italy, Pepe returned to Naples, where a constitution had again been proclaimed. He was given command of the Neapolitan army which was to co-operate with See also:Piedmont against the Austrians, but when he reached See also:Bologna the king, who had already changed his mind, recalled him and his troops. Pepe, after hesitating between his See also:desire to fight for Italy, and his See also:oath to the king, resigned his See also:commission in the Neapolitan service and crossed the Po with 2000 See also:volunteers to take part in the campaign. After a good See also:deal of fighting in See also:Venetia, he joined See also:Manin in See also:Venice and took command of the defending army. When the city was forced by See also:hunger to surrender to the Austrians, Pepe and Manin were among those excluded from the See also:amnesty; he again went into See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
