Announcement: New-York Times, 31 December 1869, 5.

“M. Duchesne, late of Mr. Bateman’s opera bouffe troupe, informs us that the use made of his name in connection with the intended ball at the Theatre Francais is wholly unauthorized by him. M. Duchesne assures us that he will not resume the uniform and the panache until arrangements now progressing shall restore to the Grand Duchy of Gerolstein its autonomy.”“
