Execution of the Marquis de Favras. The King accepts the Constitution so far as it has been settled. The Queen makes a Speech to the Deputies. She is well received at the Theatre. Negotiations with Mirabeau. The Queen's Views of the Position of Affairs. The Jacobin Club denounces Mirabeau. Deputation of Anacharsis Clootz. The Queen admits Mirabeau to an Audience.
On the morning of the Sunday following this execution M. de la Villeurnoy came to my house to tell me that he was going that day to the public dinner of the King and Queen to present Madame de Favras and her son, both of them in mourning for the brave Frenchman who fell a sacrifice for his King; and that all the royalists expected to see the Queen load the unfortunate family with favours.
However, the Queen added that she knew Madame de Favras was in want, and that she desired me to send her next day, through a person who could be relied on, a few rouleaus of fifty Louis, and to direct that she should be assured her Majesty would always watch over the fortunes of herself and her son.
The step taken by Monsieur in going to the Hotel de Ville to explain himself on this matter was unknown to the Queen; it is more than probable that the King was acquainted with it. When judgment was pronounced upon M. de Favras the Queen did not conceal from me her fears about the confessions of the unfortunate man in his last moments.

The royal family surrounded by spies. The queen refuses to escape. Excuse for the emigrants. Their plans. Profligate women. Their talk with the queen. Bravos of the women. Plan for the queen's escape. Letter from the queen. Her employments. The king's unwillingness to flee. Execution of the Marquis of Favras. Imprudence of some of the queen's friends. Her embarrassment. The queen weeps.
