New York Correspondence.

New York, Sept. IL, 1855.
private letter now before me, which came by
the last steamer, says that Colonel Kearney and
Mr.. Maxwell, brother Of the lady who eloped with
the said Colonel some two or three months since,
are both residing in Paris, and that the residence
Of each is known to the other. The brothers IN
tention on leaving the country, was to call the
gallant Colonel to account for his conduct in this
eopement affair." but up to the closing OF the latest
mail, nothing had been done in the matter. lt
was rumored, however, both in London and Paris,
that duel had been talked Of among the friends
Of the respective parties and there was strong
probability that hostile meeting was about to
take place. The age of the lady at the time OF
the elopement was put down at seventeen, 1t Is
now said her age was twenty-five. Old enough in
all conscience to know better than TO run off with
a married man.

nothing new for that party to circulate such pal
pable untruths. Knowing at the time of publish
ing them that they are lies, manufactured for the
occasion. 1t viii do their party no good, however.
