tlen ade application to the Consul again who pro-
cured LAWYER for ber and will endeavor to carry her
case before The Treasury Department at Washington,
believing that she had no intention of eyading the
revenue lsws.
The lady complains that sbe and her companion,
whom sIe sometimes calls her sister, were very badly
trtbed during the voyage and THU ks that the o 'ers
or other parties have paLLed to have her property
seized FOR their own pr fit.
Tie information which led 10 the seizure was CON-
nun caitd 70 Mr. Sheldon, one Of the Naval Ohcers
cltiks bot the e the ipfomer II kept secret.
In case Of corfscaton the informer will receive
fourth Of the property another fourth will go 10 the
Tr asury a. the remeiLder will be divided between
the Navn Officer and the Collector of the Port.

As stated in yesterdays paper, the lady iDtims'ed
that she wac the Countess de- ROnde4u travelling in
Coz pito but from On assertion have since learned
that 81 mode while on hpbOard, Of beipg "Qdeen"
ard On "EIchsptress, no faith can be put 10 the
il trnatjon. As the lady in question is very talented
v1er the French Consul is inclined to the opinion
that sbe may be idei tical with a Madame Rondeau
who OF &C created sensation in the literary circles
Of Paris
The investigation in he matter will probably not be
concluded before next week.
