Paul discarded his uniform and was once more attired as a citizen.
While in New York, the Count received a heavy remittance from Denmark.
He insisted that Paul must share in remembrance of the dark days when he had stood his friend, in Havre.

He also consulted Paul as to what enterprise or adventure they should next embark.

At this time expeditions were being secretly sent out from New York to aid the Cubans in their struggle for liberty.

Paul thought this the most promising enterprise in which to engage and the Count readily acquiesced.

They secured the address of an agent in the lower part of the city with whom they had a consultation and it was agreed that they should leave on the next expedition under General Jordan; but the expedition never sailed.
