MlEsAM TO the NEW YORK HERALD
The following special despatch to the
HERALD has been received from our CORE
spondent in the Spanish capital:-
MADRID, April 20, 1873
The duty of interviewing His Royal High
ness Don Carlos de Bourbon is one of exceed
ing difficulty, for the reason that the Prince
changes his habitation almost daily from place
to place, and is, in reality, without settled
residence Just at present 1t is, consequently,
hard 70 find him OF any one particular
moment. Amy persistent endeavor to see a
man in his position becomes, necessarily, sus-
picious. The first obstacles to On introduce
ton TO his presence having been overcome by
patient persistence, your correspondent OBJ
tanned an appointment for an audience with
the Bourbon claimant of the crown of Spain
at an isolated chateau in the South OF France,
the name and exact situation of which remain
unknown 10 the HERALD representative, as he
was driven thither at night from neighbor-
ing railway station.
THE HOUR OF MEETING AND DoMcnE SUR
RouNDMes
The appointment fixed the hour of half-past
eleven O. clock OF night as the moment of
meeting. arrived promptly on time. I was
received by an aide-de-camp to the Prince,
and shown through several rooms to the
chamber occupied by Don Carlos. A cheerful
FIRE burned in an old-fashioned CRATE, and the
apartment was upholstered with quaint
looking antique furniture.
THE ROYAL ENTRY AND FRIENDLY CITIZEN
GREETING.
His Highness the Prince Don Carlos entered
the room Immediately afterwards. He shook
my hand cordially, and said, II am happy to
make the acquaintance Of a representative Of
the NEW YoRK HEnALp.''
PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF THE PRINCE.
The first impression produced by the
Princes presence is agreeable He is tall and
slim in person, with o remarkably handsome
face. He wears his beard full. 1t is
brilliant and intensely black. The first
pleasing impression is rather weakened as he
speaks. He is slightly effeminate in his
address, and his manner and delivery are not
in harmony with his energetic, manly, physical
appearance. The immediate effect is unfavor
able, but this consequence of his popularity

c0URIERs UNABLE TO OBTAIN HORSES.
Nearly all the horses at Bats were down with
the epizootc, which is spreading towards the lava
beds. From the fact that so many horses are sick
it may become difficult to furnish them to couriers,
and communication with the front rendered less
frequent and slower.

in the right. Why shall we fear it
THE QUESTION OF CHURCH AND DIVINE RIaHr
The HERALD correspondent observed that
the cause of the hostile criticism Of the world
on Carlism was not because Carlism fought
but because it believed that its victory would
re-establish fading absolutist theories of
government and ultramontanism in religion.
The Prince Don Carlos said:-"I have
never given any one reason to believe that
after my accession to the throne religion
would be permitted to interfere In politics or
politics with religion. ! greatly value the
influence Of the priesthood admire many
men who are priests but admire them in
the Church, and I would be the first to OPP
pose their interference in matters beyond
their clerical sphere No country in the
world is less susceptible Of government by
absolutists than Spain. It never was so gov
erned it never will be SO governed. The
Basque provinces and Navarro have from
time immemorial possessed the privileges Of
free countries. They have always emphati-
cally declared they will leave the formation Of
a Spanish constitution to the action of Q
freely elected Cortes. wonder there can
still exist doubt Of our intention in this
respect.
THE ROYAL BOURBON PLATFORM.
'.My programme" continued Don Carlos,
"of government can be set forth in few
words. Everything shall be done through q
free Cortes or Parliament There shall be
complete decentralization in everything but
general politics"
GENERAL OFFICIAL REVIEW.
Here the Prince spoke somewhat IN detail
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1873-04-21


The HERALD correspondent had reserved
the subject Of Cuba, hoping that the Prince
would talk more freely as he went on. His
response was indefinite. He said, II know
the American people take great interest in
this topic. understand you have spoken on
it with General Ollo. cannot say more than
he did. I must even say less, for although
believe the abolition Of slavery to be indispen-
sable, ! am Of opinion that s emancipation
should not be ct the expense Of the proprie-
tors; therefore it must be gradual. As to the
alienation Of the colony, believe that no
Spanish government, Of whatever form or ma
ture it may be, dare propose or allude to the
subject in Spain"
THE "wzE sMA' HOURS AND ADrEy.
It was now one o'clock in the morning, and
the cigarette case was empty. I accepted
signal to retire, and withdrew from Don Car
los presence, having been once more assured
Of the Princes sympathies with the American
people and his exalted consideration for the

CAN ENTERPRISE.
In the anteroom the gentlemen of Don Car
los personal staff indicated to your corre-
spondent how great and exceptional was the
favor accorded to me, owing to the strict
seclusion which was necessary for the Prince
to observe.
Thereupon I took my departure.
