days.
The Atlantic is a ship of 600 tons, uas built in
1856, and is owned b. her commander, Cuptain
Erane!s ). silsa, Portuguese, hut natural-
chased her Of Captain J. S. G. Maciei, master
and owner Of the ship Comoro, brought to this
port from Boston, and now fitting for Whaling
voyage. The Atlantic was formerly vbnIeT
from New London, but has Iately been engaged
IN the merchant service out of Kew York. Cap

Troup. Of this port.
We understand that parties hare been on ths
look out tor the past ten days md in constant
communication with the authorities elsewhere,
and that tue seizure is made not wholly on ac-
count o. the manner of outfit, dc, but upon cir
cumstances not known to the public.
The ship is Of larger burden than vessels
generally employed in the whaling service, and
cleared with but twenty-thrce men, while Sue
was supplied with seven whaleboats- def
c'cney IN me1, howeTcr, could be supplied at
the Western Islands. She has nc first officer.
which might be also supplied in the same way,
The second officer, We are told, was shipped
with the understanding that lie was to be third
when at sen. There are but three 't1y pots on
board, and one Of these is cracked.
She is not coppered IN the, usual munner of
Whalers, being coppered on the skin, whereas
they are coppcred on Gheathing, and besides
she is only coppered low down. and as sue now
lies the metal is two feet under water. This
also may have been done as 4 matter Of econ
omy.
The lower hold is said to be slowed with
casks full Of fresh water, whereas whalers zen
orally ill the casks in the lower hold with salt
water.
The At!antic had On toard 100 bushels of
corn 10 be disposed Of at Faynl, and provisions

at the islanc;, md q very large mail for wllaf-

today.
