Cbarles Mathews cleverly and successfully displayed his talents in the double character of author and ¦ actor .- ¦ " His Excellency " is the name of the new piece which , on the occasion of Mr . Buckstone ' s annual benefit , was chosen to precede the admirable pieces which-are being performed at the Haymarket on the evening when oite of the most admirable ^ nd excellent of actors appeareel to take his benefit . The plot , of this new piece , though simple , was skilfully managed- —Co ( m ( de Jlmada , ( Ambassador of Spain to the Court of Naples ) ( Mr . Rogers ) is , with his charming daughter Isabella ( Miss Henrade ) , residing in a very pleasaut place within view of some of the most beautiful , lake and mountain scenery in Naples . is in Am ador
Theodore de llouf / emonl ^ Tix'AZ V illiers ) love with the s s daughter , and in Larose , valet dechamhre ^ ( Mr . C . Matthews ) , Theodore finds a iViend who is both willing and able to introduce him into the house , that ho may have the opportunity of seeing Isabella , and of the more speedy consummating in marriage an honorable and sincere attachment . The affair is brought about in this way . Count de Rosada . enjoys tlio friendship and confidence of a curtain Spanish Marquis , for whom , of course , he would be ready t ) undertake and execute any request he might desire . Larose knowing this , fabricates a letter in tho name of the Marquis to tho Ambassador , requesting him , the Ambassador , to discover and detain his son , who is at Napleij , bearing an assumed name , and on business contrary to the will of his father . The Count immediately complies with Ins friend ' s earnest wishes , and engages Larose to seek out and bring to his house the j'oung man who is tho object of so much paternal solicitude . Larose , of course , is ull obedienco to the commands of the Ambassador , and
Theodore do Rougomoiit is installed forthwith under tho very roof which , of all others , he desires . Now tho wishes of Theodore being gratified , und tho diplomacy of Laroso vindicatod , ho hiis more perplexing work boforo hini , nuinoly—how to conceal ull this deception from tho Count , und , at tho sumo timo , auuomplish his own und Theodore do Rougemont ' s objout . Lavoso ' s art is quite equal to tho difficulty , and , by a vrellcoucoived and timely atrutugem , he obviates the increasing perplexity ; so that , when tho Marquis arrives , Theodoro do Rougomoitt is discovorod to bo not the son , but a , relative of the Marquis , and he is accordingly uooeptod by the Count , and united to his daughter Isabella . ¦ Lftrose-4 nm « eU-m ^^ mudo an able instrument in hustoniitg tho plot to a stttisfaotory tormi » nation .
