[Untitled]

United States Consulate, Azores, Fayal, April 29, 1864.

Sir: I have just received information (which I hasten to communicate to you) that the English double-screw steamer Atalanta, ostensibly four days from Falmouth, bound to Bermuda, in ballast, was at Terceira for coals, on the 11th instant. She is said to have run across from Calais to Dover in seventy-five minutes.

I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant,

CHARLES W. DABNEY.

Hon. James E. Harvey, United States Minister Resident, Lisbon.
