DBWI: What if the French Royal Family wasn't Rescued and Restored to the Throne?

What if the Flight to Varennes plotted by Marie Antoinette's favourite Count von Fersen to bring the deposed Royals to HRE wasn't successful and the Bourbons got stuck in France? How would this affect the first French Revolution and could the Bourbons create a successful counter-revolt and regain France with the King and the Dauphin under arrest by the revolutionaries?
 
The Royal Family is most likely going to be executed, since this is revolutionaries were are talking about here. Those people are nothing but hell-spawned monsters with an unquencheable bloodthirst; just look at the Terror they did in France during their (fortunately brief) rule...
 
I can't see them executing the king and certainly not the queen. They were the revolutionaries only leverage to prevent all out war against them. I mean as soon as they escaped the whole of the HRE bore down on them. Could you imagine what would happen if they didn't need to worry about gaining support for the restoration? The whole of France would burn. That's not even mentioning that for a lot of rual France the king was still an important figure. Executing him would risk internal revolt as well.
 
One of the interesting butterflies that may happen would the the prevention of the rise of Buonaparte in Italy. Buonaparte fled/returned home once the Coalition came in, and Louis XVI pretty much left him and Corsica alone one he was restored. After all, the French King had much bigger things to worry about than a recently-acquired Italian island.

Had the Bourbons not been restored, Buonaparte would have probably remained an artillery officer for the French Army, and had a decent chance of getting his head chopped off just like a vast majority of people who showed too much potential during the Terror.

So, no Buonaparte --> the House of Savoy stays intact --> no Unification --> Italy remains fractured in the early 1900s.

France is not England!!!

I swear every time this comes up the members of this site are ready to kill King Louis by every means imaginable, INCLUDING WILD DOGS!

Sorry to rain on your collective bloodlust, but the French people would never tolerate the killing of a King or Dauphin, ever. It's ASB, period.

It almost happened IOTL, though. Hell, in fact, there were quite a few people who wouldn't have given two shits if the royals had been murdered by the time the Flight occurred. In fact, there were riots for several days straight after they were restored.....not to mention an assassination attempt on Count Von Fersen himself! And after the Bourbons were *finally* thrown out for good in 1847(Albeit mostly non-violently this time), why do you think that the HRE was (bloodily) dismantled and stomped into the dust after they lost the Pan-European War(by that point, even the Russians thought they were bad news!)? There was a *lot* of resentment that had built up against the old royal families up until then, and it wasn't just going to magically disappear.

(Interesting fact, btw: Crown Prince Conrad, supposedly a great nephew by marriage of Count von Fersen, and who would have been second in line for the HRE's throne at the time of its dismemberment, emigrated to the U.S. temporarily after his exile, where he later offered his services to the Confederacy during the Civil War.....as did many other exiled German noblemen who arrived in the U.S. south of the Ohio; he apparently viewed the C.S.A. as an anti-revolutionary reaction, as it were, against the supposed "tyrant", William Garrison, in Washington.....this, despite Garrison being one of the most libertine Presidents of the era.....or perhaps *because* of that, maybe.)

Whereas the assassination of Ernest Augustus in 1846 genuinely horrified many Britons, despite his incredible unpopularity, and his killers were all sentenced to very long jail terms(and one man executed!) after Caroline's succession was made clear.
