It would seem that the Prussian Parliament rejected the vote

for the Navy from an impression that the Ministry could not be

trusted with the meney. They would, it was suspected, manage to employ it on. the Army, dr in furtherance of Herr von Bismark's policy towards the Duchies. It was, moreover, insinuated that without Kiel there could be no Navy, and the Government had not got Kiel. The Premier, in. a hot-tempered reply, thclared bluntly that whatever the Estates of the Duchies might do, or Austria might do, or anybody might do, Prussia was joint Sovereign of the Duchies, and would never give up her title until Kiel had been placed in her hands,—which must be pleasant to the Holsteiners. They have gained their freedom from Denmark only to choose between annexation to Prussia and the loss of their port. Herr von Bismark further observed that the offers of the Duke of Augustenburg were valueless, for they were made contingent on the vote of the Estates, who might re- pudiate the concessions. In fact the Holsteiners are conquered just as much as the Danes.
