Over half of the Legislative Assembly's members fled and on the evening 10 August only 284 deputies were in their seats.
The Assembly looked on anxiously at the vicissitudes of the struggle.
So long as the issue was doubtful, Louis XVI was treated like a king.
As soon as the insurrection was definitely victorious, the Assembly announced the suspension of the King.
The King was placed under a strong guard.
The Assembly would have liked to assign him the Luxembourg Palace, but the insurgent Commune demanded that he should be taken to the Temple, a smaller prison, which would be easier to guard.

14 July had saved the Constitutional Assembly, 10 August passed sentence on the Legislative Assembly: the day's victors intended to dissolve the Assembly and keep power in their own hands.
But because the new Commune, composed of unknowns, hesitated to alarm the provinces, the Girondins were kept and the Revolution was mired in compromise.
The Assembly remained for the time being but recognized the Commune, increased through elections to 288 members.
The Assembly appointed a provisional Executive Council and put Monge and Lebrun-Tondu on it, along with several former Girondin ministers.
The Assembly voted that the Convention should be summoned and elected by universal suffrage to decide on the future organization of the State.
One of its first acts was to abolish the monarchy.
