Simply move faster to crush the revolution. There were plenty of close calls historically that didn't lead to a monarchy being overthrown, decisive and brutal action could have saved the Bourbons. Hell, the revolutionaries learned this lesson themselves only a few years later, look at Napoleon's famous "whiff of grapeshot".

Crushed using what?

The reason the revolution got out of hand in the first place was because the nobles threw an autistic fit.

If he had tried to crush the initial assembly of the estates he would have been deposed. By that point he had no willing creditors and couldn't buy enough mercenaries and the nobels where ready to have at him.

By the time the aristocracy began to realize what they had kicked off it was too late to crush it. The Republicans were able to crush the aristocracy, fight a semi religious civil war, and invade in every direction at the same time.
