<P> This newly created assembly immediately attached itself onto the capitalists--the sources of the credit needed to fund the national debt--and to the common people . They consolidated the public debt and declared all existing taxes to have been illegally imposed, but voted in these same taxes provisionally, only as long as the Assembly continued to sit . This restored the confidence of the capitalists and gave them a strong interest in keeping the Assembly in session . As for the common people, the Assembly established a committee of subsistence to deal with food shortages...</P> <P> Jacques Necker, finance minister to Louis XVI, had earlier proposed that the king hold a Séance Royale (Royal Session) in an attempt to reconcile the divided Estates . The king agreed; but none of the three orders were formally notified of the decision to hold a Royal Session . All debates were to be put on hold until the séance royale took place . </P> <P> Events soon overtook Necker's complex scheme of giving in to the Communes on some points while holding firm on others . No longer interested in Necker's advice, Louis XVI, under the influence of the courtiers of his privy council, resolved to go in state to the Assembly, annul its decrees, command the separation of the orders, and dictate the reforms to be effected by the restored Estates - General . On June 19, he ordered the Salle des États, the hall where the National Assembly met, closed, and remained at Marly for several days while he prepared his address . </P> <P> Two days later, deprived of use of the tennis court as well, the National Assembly met in the Church of Saint Louis, where the majority of the representatives of the clergy joined them: efforts to restore the old order had served only to accelerate events . When, on June 23, in accord with his plan, the king finally addressed the representatives of all three estates, he encountered a stony silence . He concluded by ordering all to disperse . The nobles and clergy obeyed; the deputies of the common people remained seated in a silence finally broken by Mirabeau, whose short speech culminated, "A military force surrounds the assembly! Where are the enemies of the nation? Is Catiline at our gates? I demand, investing yourselves with your dignity, with your legislative power, you inclose yourselves within the religion of your oath . It does not permit you to separate till you have formed a constitution ." The deputies stood firm . </P>
