      On Wednesday night , was performed at the IIaymakket Theatuk , a new comedietta , in which Mr . Charles 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 * ' oil the occasion of Mr . Buckstone's annual benefit , was chosen to precede the admirable pieces which av © being performed at the Haymarket on the evening when one of the most admirable and excellent of actors appeared to take his benefit . The . plot of this new piece ., though simple , was skilfully managed—Co / ot ^ tie Rosacta ( Ambassador of Spain to the Court of Naples ) ( Mr . Rogers ) is , with his charming daughter Isabella ( Miss Henrade ) , residing in a very pleasant place within view ofsorao of the most beautiful lake and mountain scenery in Naples .

      Theodore dellouijetnoni ( Mr . E Yilliers ) is in love with the Ambassador ' s daughter , and in Larose , valet dechambre ( Mr . C . Matthews ) , Theodore finds a . friend who is both -wiliing and able to introduce him into the house , that he may liavo the opportunity of seeing Isabella , and of the more speedy consummating in marriage an honorable and sincere ttttuchment . The affair is brought about in this way . Count de Eosuda enjoys the friendship and confidence of a certain Spanish Marquis , for whoin , of course , ho would bo read y t > undertake and execute any request he might desire . Lavose knowing this , fabricates a letter in the jiarno of tho Marquis to the Ambassador , requesting him , the Ambassador , to discover and detain his son , who is at Naples , bearing an assumed name , and on business contrary to tho will of his father . Tho Count immodiutoly complies with his friend ' s earnest wishes , and engages Laroso to seek out and bring to his house the ¦ young man who is tho objoot of so much paternal solicitude . Laroso ,

      of courso , is all obedienco to tho commands of the Ambassador , and Theodore deRougcmont is installed forthwith under the very roof which , of all others , ho desires . Now tho wishes of Theodore being gratified , and the diplomacy of Laroso vindicated , ho has more perplexing work before him , namely—how to conceal all this deception from tho Count , and , ut tho aatno time , accomplish his own and Theodore de Rougemont'a object . Luroso ' s art is quite equal to the difficulty , and , by a welloonceivod und timely strutagein , ho obviates the increasing perplexity ; bo that , whim tho Marquia arrives , Theodoro do Rongemont ia discovered to ho not ; tho son , but a relative of the Marquis , and ho ia accordingly accepted by tho Count , and unitod to hie daughter Isabella . Luroso himself marries Terns / no , ( Mrs . C . Matthews ) , whom ho has mncle an-able iristrinnentrnr hastening the plot ' to-asatisfactory termination . Tho now comody of"Dooa Ho Lovo Mo ?
