After 10 August (the storming of the Tuileries Palace) he was again given charge of the finances in the provisional executive council, but could not offer a remedy to France's difficulties, concerning the assignats. Clavière shared in the fall of the Girondists, being arrested on 2 June 1793, but was not placed on trial with the rest in October. (He was disliked by the Sans-culottes and Robespierre as he disapproved the insurrection of 31 May - 2 June 1793.) He remained in prison until 8 December, when, on receiving notice that he was to appear on the next day before the Revolutionary Tribunal, he committed suicide.
