Périer, Casimir (-Pierre)

(born Oct. 21, 1777, Grenoble, France—died May 16, 1832, Paris) French statesman. Son of a financier, he cofounded a bank in 1801 and by 1814 was a leading banker in Paris. He was elected to the French Chamber of Deputies (1817), where he opposed Charles X. After the July Revolution of 1830 made Louis-Philippe king, Périer became premier (1831) and quickly restored civic order in France. Active in foreign affairs, he sent an army to defend Belgium against the Dutch (1831) and ordered the occupation of Ancona to check Austrian predominance in the Papal States (1832). His authoritarian approach brought attacks from both left and right and sometimes alienated the king.
