Lyceum Theatre—“‘La Princesse de Tre- bizonde.” A Dew opera, by Offeobacb—new, at least, to this country—“La Princesse de Trebizonde,” was brought out at the Lyceum last night. We have already given the plot or tle portions of the Nbretto necessary to gain an idea of what MM. vey. Since the production of “La Grande Duchesse” and “La Belle Helene,” by the same fecund composer, Offenbach, we know of no opera that gained on the douse stage of America such an immediate and unqualified success at first representation as “La Princesse.” The story is exceedingly funny with- out being indecent; the cast was weil distributed; the music 1s superficial and champagne-like in its glitter, without being what a musician would call thoughtful, end the situations and scenes are never tiresome, It can readily be placed as an opéra douge on @ standard of equality with any work of Offenbach, and, considering the unusual number of encores bestowed upon the principal musical numbers last night, its Popularity in this city is assured. The mountebanks in the Orst act had an abundance of comic business, which in their professional point of view might be regardea as atic. In the gece ond act, in their changed condition as proprietors ofa baronial castle, they were no less happy, and 1m the last act, in the explanation of affairs with the ruling prince of the period, the fun came to a climax. Tne entire company was in the cast. Mile. Aimée was the naughty Prince Raphael, who worrtes the life out of his guardian, Sparadrap, (M. Guyot), and his father, Prince Casimir (M. Dus plan). Some very pretty chansons fell to the share of this favorite opéra-bouge cantatrice, but vhe remarkable deterioration of vocal power since the last season in herregard robbed them of much of their effect. M. Minelly, the best vocaiist of the troupe, had a rather subordinate role as Zanetia, the sor disant Princess of Trebizonde, and in the few opportunities she had ro sing she evinced a decidedly agreeable and Weil-cultivated voice. She should . exchange roles with Mlie. Aimée. ‘The fascinating litue Mile. Gandon made a success as tne manageress of the mounteoank, Regina; and a new artiste, Mile. Kid, created a javorabie impression as Paola, a lady of aristocratic yearnings sud one whom cruel fortune had placed in the position of “the Wild Woman, caught in the forests ot Africa.’ Miles. Kid and Gandon may be consid- ered as the most talented members of the com- any. M. Dedeer made a decided hit as ‘Tremo- int and Dupian, one of the chief attractions ol “La Fille de Madame Angot,” surpassed himself as Prince Casimir, M. Dubouchet was a very amusing representative of the mountebank man- Cabrioio, and trom first to last hela the audience in good humor. The opera is susceptible i chorus, stage effects and mise en scéne are con- cerned, aud M. Van Giele needs to pay more at- tention to his orches ra. The music, a8 might be expected, 18 luli of reminiscences of earlier Works of the composer. In tact, one of the most successinl numbers, which received a tumultuous encore, is aimost note lor nove with “Un Mari Saje,” trom “La Belie Helene.” Then there 1s a Tyrolienne, very like the one in “Genevieve,” a beautiful—in an opéra bouse sense of the word— duet jounded on a scene frum “Barbe Bleue,” and a finale (trst act) resembling the ending of the first act of the samo opera. Well, as long as a composer “borrows” {from himself we cannot very well find fault, As to the musical value of ‘La Princess,” according to tue Tecognized canons. Le jeu ne vaut pas la chan- dele, Offenbach is ever irothy and never serious. Probably therein lies the secret of his success. Abynow Messrs. Grau and Chizzola may be con- gratulated on producing an opera tull of tun, wit and humor, and eminently attractive as such. Well tor them if they had opened their season with it, ins ead of the stupid, ridiculous and inde- cent production of “Lem Vasseur.’” Musical and Dramatic Notes. The Khédive of Egypt sketched out the libretto of “AYda.’? Randegger, the composer, is at Verona, with his family. Mme. Essipoff, the Russian pianist, is sald to be young and beautiful. 4 Mies Kellogg will likely make her greatest lyric success thisseason as Editn Plantagenet, in Balfe’s “Talisman.” The name of Virginie Déjazet has just appeared prominently before the pablic on the occasion of the seventy-first anniversary of her début at the She has retired to Montmartre tn indifferent cir- cumstances. Mr. Buckstone has accepted a new piece for the Haymarket, London, from the pen of Mr. Mortimer. It is called “Laura Churchmouse,” and is founded on the French play, “Le Duc Job.”” Miss Robertson is to take the principal part. and Mr. Sothern is to return from America to play His Lordship. That well-worn subject, “Whittington and His Cat,” is to be made the subject of an opéra bontfe, to be produced as a Christmas novelty in London next December. M. Offenbach, it is said, has en- tered into a contract with Messrs. Cramer & Co. to write the opera, and its production at Covent Garden will, no doubt, be looked forward to with aconsiderable amount of interest. Strakosch’s operatic season promises to be novel and interesting, A number of new operas will be produced, The same vigor and enterprise that characterized this impresario’s management last year will be rivalled, if not excelled, this season. Among the novelties will be Verdi's “Messe de Re- quiem” and Wagner's “Vasceilo Fantasma.” | | FUNERAL OF AN ACTOR. Obsequics of the Late F. B. Conway= Sermon by Rev. W. H. Nye.

DON CARLOS AND CUBA A Second Herald Interview with the Bourbon Chief. How He Would Govern in the Antilles If Crowned at Madrid. COMPLIMENTS 10 THE “HERALD.” What the Pretender Proposes to Do for Spain. AMNESTY AND FREEDOM. He Would Be King Unfettered and Then Bestow Liberty. LEQUEtTro, August 20, 1874, I Bave bad anotner conversation with Don Carlos, during which he authorized me to make the following statement of his plans with regard to Cuba:— First—Amnesty and pardon to all the rebels. Second—The complete abolition of slavery within five years, Third—He accords the great boon of self-gov- ernment. A legislative body, treely elected by the people, to meet at Havana and govern the island. | The relations between Cuba and the mother country to be something resembling those between Caoada and England, He demands nothing but allegiance and tealty to Spain. TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY. But he will entertain no proposition looking to a cession of Spanish territory to any country, nor will be hear of a separation of Cuba from Spain under any circumstances. He says:—‘‘Cuba has been subject to such a long period of misrule; she has always been plundered so unmercifuliy by Governors sent out from Madrid for the sole pur- pose of enriching themselves, and she is sv far | away from the mother-country that she will never again bé reconciled except through an honest gov- ernment devoted to the interests of the people. To prove that I am in earnest when I speak of an honest government, I propuse to give them sell- government, which, if not honest it will be their own fault. I can do no more to prove my sincerity.”” Speaking of promises he satd:—“I have hitherto been chary of them to Cuba, as I am still chary of them to Spain, because ] was not sure the circum- stances would justify my fulfilling them, Now that Iam convinced that Cuba will be lost to Spain unless she becomes reconciled, I make these prom- ises and mean to {fulfil them.” WHAT DOES THE HERALD THINK ? He here asked me what were the views of the HERALD on the Cuban difficulty. The question was a somewhat embarrassing one, and I nad to coniess that the HERALD entertained very strong opinions on the subject of Caba. He then asked me if it represented the opinions of a large class of tne American people, and here again I had to contess that on this subject, as upon every other, the HERALD represented the majority of | tue American people. Seeing my embarrassment he remarked, witha smile, ‘Well, whatever be our respective opinions on this subject I hope it need not lead to any want Of cordiality between the HERALD and myself.” I assured him that once he had carried out the reforms in Cuba just spoken of—the abolition ot | slavery and the establishment of an honest gov- \ ernment, which would leave American citizens unmolested im the peaceable vocations of agri- culture and commerce—the HERALD would be appeased, \ | THE PLACE OF INTERVIEW. The interview took place 1n one of those large Spanish country palaces that look so much like a church, just outside of Lequeltio, The room wasa large, fine one on the first story, with windows looking out on along, beautiiul avenue of trees, leading down to the road which follows the wind- ings ol @ small river, that comes tumbling down out ofthe mountains and rushes, with a leap, into the ocean. Lying about on the grass beneath the trees were Carlist soldiers, with their gay and picturesque uniforms. Some asleep, some smoking cigarettes, some chafing the Basque peasant girls, who bring them. dowo from the mountains fruit and milk. Altogether it was @ quiet, pleasant scene, reminding one little of war. Coffee and cigars were now brought in by a small negro boy, dressed in scarlet, who must have been a twin brother of Stanley's Kalulu, and the Prince, who said he was glad to have an occasional talk with somebody from the outside world, resumed the conversation. SPEAKING TO THE SPANIARDS. Speaking of the prospects ne could hold out to the Spanish people, he said:—“I would like to promise Spain a great deal in the way of a liberal and progressive government, Dut Iam not sure of being able to fulfil any such promises, Things that seem easy now may prove to be dificult or impossible when I come tv the throne. | But we word of the King is sacred, and the times are too uncertain, the circumstances | under which I may arrive to power too various and far beyond all human foresight for that word to be lightly given. 1 will not promise anything I | | | | may not be able to fulfil, however willing I may be togive the thing when the time comes. I woula like to give Spain @ constitution, a responsible | Ministry and many other things. But what is the use of promising? Cut bono? Amadco promised and could not tulfil, and being a king and a gentuhomme, nad vo abdicate to avoid breaking his word. It was all that was le/t him to | do. If I allowed my bands to be tied up by prom- | No, Tin- | tend to give far more than I promise. I intend to give Spain a liberal and a free government, I shall bear in mind the end of all government, the ireedom, prosperity and happiness of the people, or—as you Americans put it—the greatest good for the greatest number. ButI reserve to myself the consideration of the means to be adopted to obtain that end. RESOLVED FOR THE BEST. “If 1 find it can oest be procured by a constitu- tion, @ responsible Ministry and all the other mod- ern appliances, I shall adopt them. There are a few principles which are eternal and nnchange- able; these principles I will maintain at all hazards, But outside of these isa wide fleid for action, and here I shall adapt my pians and my means to the surrounding circumstances, 1 will be disposed to compromise on questions not es- sential, in order to meet modern views, ideas and progress.”” “You spoke of a constitution. Does Your Maj- esty believe in constitutions?” I asked. “I believe in constitutions like that of England. A constitution that has grown up with tne nation during centuries; @ constitution that is a natural outgrowth of the national character, with which the government, laws, institutions, feelings of the nation and the framework of society are so closely bound up that you cannot take it away without destroying the whole fabric. I do not believe in paper constitutions auy more than I ovelieve in paper armies. The English constitution is alive. But who can tell me ot how many articles tt is composed, or embody it in words, or tel: me where it begins or where it ends, or show me anything that resembles tt. The English consti- tution 1s to the Eugiish nation what the soul ts to | tne Lody.

Has it not been violated and flouted in the most flagrant manner?” “With the consent of the people?” “Yes, of course. But if tt is to be set aside at | any moment the people may consent, what is the use of it? Your constitution did not answer the Purpose for which it was made, or it answered it | too well, and nad to be got over somehow. it was | easily done, Your Presidents do not pay much respect to their oath. But the word of the King is sacred. I I promised to obey a@ constitution, I should doit, ButI refuse to promise because a | Paper constitution in itself is absurd and tmpossi- | bie. The mistake of statesmen these days is to think that @ constitution can be made to order, | like alocomouve. French statesmen have tried ivbow often? They tried the English pattern; they made an exact copy of it in every particular, as they thought, and brought it over to France and set it agoing there. They only forgot to put in one thing to have made ita success, and that was the English people. You might as well turn the Pacific Railroad over to the management of the red Indians and expect it to be asuccess, And yet military despots, who have notthe most elementary ideas of govern- ment, come to me with their paper constitutions. FAITHFUL BUT BAFFLED. “1 might take the oath and break It, as they have done; but the great strength of my cause lies in its integrity of purpose, and I will nov weaken it by perjury. “L would give Spain @ constitution if I could, but Icannot, A constitution cannot be made ina It must be the growth of centuries. I can only clear away the débris of revolutions and military despotisms and make room for it. No, 1 intend to give more than is expected of me, more than | promise, butI bind myself by no agresment. I shall owe my crown, if I win it, to my sword, and the strong arms ana | loyal hearts of the Spanish people and not toa | military pronunciamento, and 1 shall ascend the throne, 1f I ascend it ail, with conscience free and hands uniettered. Then I can give Spain not only peace and prosperity, but LIBERTY, not as gives a slave king, bound up by constitu- tions and oaths, from whom it is wrenched by lorce, but treely, largely, munificently, en rot, as king should give. Nor snould the Powers of Eu- Tope fear my advent to the throne. My loreign Policy should be one of peace and conciliation, and nothing is jurtuer from my mind than a foreign HOW DON CARLOS LOOKS. 1 have as yet said nothing of the personal appear- ance of Don Carlos. He has black hair, brown eyes, slightly aquilime nose and biack beard, covering | the whole face. He is very handsome. The ladies may be interested to know that he will be the handsomest sovereign in Europe. He has an active, powerful frame, and stands six feet three in his boots. Young and brave, fighting an un- equal fight against such fearful odds, holding with his handful of men the armies of Madrid at defiance and rapidiy preparing to take the offensive, fight- ing for what he considers his rigbts, undiscour- aged by defeat and unconquered by despair, hope- ful and confident under the most trying circum. stances, he 1s, every inch, the old-fashioned hero- ging. SYMPATHETIC ATTRACTION. Alter all there is little reason why we should not sympathize with him. Ifhe were a rebel against a free government—a government of the people— it would be very different. But whatever the re- sult the people will, in no case, have any voice in the matter. It lies between Don Carlos and the son of Isabella, and if the latter ts placed upon the throne it will be by @ coterie o! military despots, who believe the King snould reign sad not govern, and, consequently, they should govern. It isnot | probable they will give Spain a better government than Don Carios, ora better one than they have given her for the last torty years. Why should we sympathize with them?
