PHILADELPHIA. August 22.

By a gentleman just returned from France, we have the following authentic intelligence: He was at Reins the 1st of June, the day on which the parliament was exiled, and finding that matters were coming to an extremity by the military being called to the assistance of the King's orders, he left the town by the advice of his friends: the forces at Reins were not sufficient to perform the task. Expresses were sent for more troops, and a body of between ten and eleven thousand men marched for Reins, and encamped before the town, the gates being shut against them; they cut all the corn down which was grown near the city where they encamped. At eleven o'clock at night on the 2d of June, an attack was made on the city, and after throwing in a few bombs they forced the South gate, and the people defended themselves till upwards of eleven hundred were killed. He says, throughout Brittany, and the provinces through which he passed, the freedom of conversation for their liberties was such, that he began to think himself in England. In Reins, and many other towns, the following was posted up:--Louis le seize, present Roi de France, qui a donnez liberte aux Americaines, et fait esclaves de son peuple. Louis the sixteenth, the present King of France who has given liberty to America, and made his own subjects slaves. In other places through which he passed was written in French, No Parliament, no King!
