I l• - t AMERICAN PAPERS. NEW.YORK, JULY 21. Captain Balkely, arrived here last evening, informs that on Saturday last, off the Capes of the Delaware, 40 miles from the land, he witnessed an engagement between two ships of war, which continued from four ti►l half-past six p. m. when one of the ships struck. After the engagement, an Officer from one of them came on board Captain B.'s schooner, the Ann Eliza, who proved to be an Offic?r from the British sloop of war Atalaate, Captain Hickey, who informed, that the ship that had just struck to the Atalante was the French frigate Entreprenante, of 32 guns, bound from Brest to New-York, with dispatches and some cargo. The Atalante had one man killed and four wounded. The Entreprenante had 30 killed and wounded. The Atalante mounts 24. guns. "(Not true, only 16). Captain Bulkeley di.: not learn how long the French ship had been out, or what became of the dispatches. BOSTON, JULY 46. Pending the trial of the American brig Fox in the Admiralty Court of London, before Sir Wm. Scott, the claimant on behalf of the owners addressed a note to Mr. Smith, the American 'Charge d'Affaires, touching the subject of the repeal of the Berlin and Milan Decrees, to which he returned the following answer : six—l had the honour of receiving your no.e of to-day ; and in reply have to gate to you, that 1 have officially informed this Government of the admission of the American vessels that have voluntarily arrived in France since the Ist of November, 1810, among which are many that would have violated itSe Berlin and Milan Decree's, had they been still in force. I trust that this will satisfy your inquiries, as I do not feel myself at liberty to communicate to you the dispatches which I have received con taining this intelligence.

I, 1811, Bonaparte seized, segues-, tered, and sold hundreds of American vessels and cargoes, amounting to upwards of THIRTY MILLIONS Of dollars ! not one cent. of which has he even promis ed to, or'will ever, return. Since N:)v. 1, he has or. dered the release of sixteen innocent vessels and car-i goes, (amounting perhaps in value to one quarter of ' a million of dollars), which never violated his Berlin and Milan decrees : and the detention of which was no better than downright tyranny and robbery ! But though fiberatiel, these vessels are not free, as all American vessels in British parts are : they are com pelled, after paying enormous French duties, to ex port the whole am/Stint of their cargoes in French produce or manufactures ; of which two-thirds must be in the useless articles of luxury, French silks. Yet, shame to tell, these are those who call themselves Americans, vho are so base as to proclaim this last act of Napoleon a mighty boon, and to chuckle and exult thereat." NEW-YORK, JULY 24.
