PHILLIPS, SAMPSON G. cos
NEW MAGAZERsE. ,
DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.
ITS AIM WILL BE

FIRST: In Literature, TO leave no province
represented, so that while each number viii
contain articles of an abstract and permanent
value, il will also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment in its
various forms of Narrative. Wit, and Humor,
will not go uneared for, The publishers wish
to say, also, that while native writers will re-
ceiye the most solid encouragement, and viii
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC, they viii not hesitate TO draw from
the foreign sources at their command, as occa-
sion may require, relying rather on the COM
potency of an author to treat particular sub
ject, than on any other claim whatever In
this way they hope to make then Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken or read,
SECOND: In the term ART they int?nd to
include the whole domain Of aesthetics, and
geographically to make this critical department
its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soeYer.
THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, but viii hon.
estly cndeayor to be the exponent of what ffs
conductors believe TO I've the American idea,
1t will deal frankly with persons and
with parties, cndeavoring always to keep
in view that moral element which tYgln-
scehds all persons and parties, and which alone
makes the basis of true and lasting national
prosperity. 1t will not rank itself with any
sect Of antics. but with that body of men which
is in favor of Freedom, National Progress, and
Honor, whether public or private.
As an earnest of the material at their COM
nand, they subjoin the following list of literary
persons interested III their enterprise wishing
it, however TO be distinctly understood, that
they shall hope for support from every kind of
ability which desires the avenue of their col
unlns, and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of intrin.

A HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE.-SeiEure of tile
american Brig Jehossee.-The Charleston Mer-
curry says: Conformation has been received in this
city of the capture by the British steamer Falcon
of the brig Jehossee Capt. Vincent, Of this port,
on the West coast of Africa The last previously
known Of the jehossce was her sailing for New
York. She was overhauled about the 10th of J an
uary, in the Gulf of unea, by the British cruiser,
OF suspicion Of being engaged in the slave trade,
and boarded. Every proper question was answered
by Capt Vincent but the right of search denied
and resisted. Capt Vincent and his officers were
carried on the Falcon, and there subjected to great
ndgnity, being stripped Of their clothing and
abused in insulting manner by the epauletted
officers of Queen Vic.
While the officers were thus obtained, the vessel
Was plundered, the cargo broken open, and the
private trunks desks and stores her riff ed.
prize put on board and sail made for
the coast. The first nj CHIT was scene Of demoniac
revelry. The prize crew had pillaged the liquor
from the stores of the Jehossee, and helpless
ly drunk; indeed, so far were they stupefed, that
the commander of the Falcon withdrew them, and
placed anew crew on board the bril- g. The Jchossee
was taken into Whydah; but after several days
ention she was the 9th Of February, rendered
to her officers who refused to accept Of her restor
alton. Capt Vincent, at last advces, was awaiting
the arrival of some of the United States squadron,
to lay his grievances before the proper authorities
"From all accounts, the affair certainly a
high one; and Capt. Vincent and his crew
deserve ample reparation and heavy damages"
