Unfortunately none of her brothers tried to save her. Her brother Joseph II was emperor of Austria, but he died in 1790. His succesor was Leopold II, another brother of Marie Antoinette, but he died in 1792. His son, Francis II now became emperor (Marie Antoinette's nephew), but at that time, Austria was at war with France, and Francis II had never met his aunt and did not care for her. And so, none of Marie Antoinette's relatives tried to save her.

What does Austria have to do with the french revolution?
Austria was the country Marie Antoinette came from, the last French Queen at the time of the revolution. It is also the country that France had been in and out of war with for several years. France and Austria weren't good friends so to say. As a matter of fact, to fix this tense relationship between the 2 countries, the empress of Austria, Maria Theresia, cooked up the idea of sending one of her daughters to France to marry the dauphin (crownprince). This daughter was Marie Antoinette. Unfortunately, the relationship between the two countries never bettered and they started a new war in 1791.
Who were some foreign allies of Marie Antoinette?
As Marie Antoinette came from Austria she had Austrian backing. Her mother was Empress of Austria, eventually succeeded by Joseph, Marie Antoinette's brother. The Empress and Joseph pushed Marie Antoinette very hard to try to have more and more influence on her husband so she Austrian goals were met, though, Austria did nothing in order to help out France. At the time of the revolution, her brother Joseph died and her nephew who succeeded him was on the throne, and as he had never met his aunt, he didn't really care. At that time, Austria and France also declared each other war once again. England could have helped the Royal family, if they weren't at war with them over the freedom of America. The English Queen at the time wrote "Tis shame upon those of the French Monach, to have thought they could be under our wing, if they had only thought straight". None of the Countries really cared, as they saw France as no allie of theirs, but if you have anymore questions I suggest you ask "Mascha", as she is very experienced and knowledgable in this department! (Thank you MarieAntoinette!)
