Déjacque came from Jersey to New York in the spring of 1854, so the help wanted listing would have been soon after he arrived. The conflict over “La question révolutionnaire” was in 1854. The Association Internationale was formed in 1855, the same year that Claude Pelletier arrived in New York. And then Déjacque was in New Orleans for much of the period 1855–58. Le Libertaire was launched in June, 1858.
