	The Flight to Varennes, June 20, 1791
		The Flight to Varennes served as a major journee because it showed the National Assembly as well as the French people, that Louis XVI could no longer be trusted.
		What follows here is an extract from Louis' "Declaration of the King Addressed to All the French About His Flight from Paris," (June 21, 1791).
		As long as the king could hope to see the kingdom's order and happiness restored by the means employed by the National Assembly and by his residence next to this Assembly in the capital city, no personal sacrifice mattered to him.

		The Flight to Varennes (June 20-21, 1791) was a significant episode in the French Revolution during which the French royal family attempted unsuccessfully to escape from the radical agitation of the Jacobins in Paris disguised as a Russian aristocratic family.
		Louis's indecision on how to deal with revolutionary demands was one of the causes of the forcible transfer of the royal family from Palace of Versailles to the Tuileries in Paris on October 6 after Versailles had been attacked by an angry mob.
		Due to the cumulative effect of a host of errors which in and of themselves would not have condemned the mission to failure, the royal family was recognized and stopped in the revolutionary town of Varennes, not far from its ultimate destination, the heavily fortified royalist citadel of Montmédy.

		After Varennes, the king was practically useless in peace, and impossible in times of danger and invasion; not only because of the degradation of his capture and of his imprisonment on the throne, but because, at the moment of his flight, he had avowed his hostility to the institutions he administered.
		No monarchical constitution could succeed, after Varennes; and the one of which we are speaking, the object of the memorable conflict between Mounier and Sieyès, is not identical with the one that failed.
		The insult to the nation, the summoning of troops, the projected flight, as was now supposed, to the fortress of Metz, were taken to mean civil war, for the restoration of despotism.

		He fled the country in 1791 at the same time as his brother's unsuccessful Flight to Varennes.
