Abstract

[Between September 1791 and 1792, the political complexion of the Revolution had greatly changed. The guarded optimism Sicard had expressed to Laffon de Ladebat had proved warranted. The king had tried to escape France in June 1791, fearing that he could no longer rule over the powerful forces opposed to him and the limitations to his power that the Assembly had imposed on him. He had been virtually under house arrest with his family in the Tuileries Palace since the October Days of 1789. The Brissotin faction in the Legislative Assembly of 1791–1792 passed several laws over the king’s veto to indict the refractory priests (whom Louis was protecting) as dangerous counterrevolutionaries. The series of punitive laws they imposed called for such punishments as deportation or even death. The faction warned of collusion between the royal family and their Austrian Hapsburg relatives against the Revolution. (The Austrian Emperor was the brother of Marie Antoinette.) The Brissotin faction became a virtual “war party,” demanding military action against all monarchs who threatened to intervene and restore the Old Regime in France. On July 25, 1792, the Allied commander had issued the Brunswick Manifesto, holding the Parisians responsible for the safety of the royal family and threatening summary punishment of offenders.]
