LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 11, 1865.

There is nothing more difficult than to reply to
an impertinent communication with dignity and yet

with decision ; one is very apt either to lose
temper, or else to temporise too much. It must be
confessed, however, that the juste milieu has been
followed with surprising success by the Bavarian
Government in their reply to the Prussian despatch.

It is refreshing to find that a minor State can sum.

mon such energy and speak with such boldness and
spirit, determined to keep within the bounds of
prudence and reserve, and yet resolved not to allow
the principles cf the Constitution to be infringed
even by so formidable and puissant a kingdom as
Prussia. The sarcasm which breathes in every line
of this reply must be very bitter to Herr vox Bis-
MARK. Doubtless he thought that he should com-
pletely overwhelm them by his wrath and threats,
while equally apparent is the firmness which is re-
called in every passage of this communication. The
first thing taken into account is the attempt of the
Prussian Government to criticise the votes given by
the hostile minority at the time the resolution of the
Diet was passed concerning the cessation of Federal
execution in Holstein and Lauenburg. Now the
Bavarian Minister very properly declines to discuss
this matter, rightly remarking that to do so would
be admitting the right of Prussia to criticise the
votes given at that period, which is quite an un-
precedented thing to do. When he says that
the KING'S Government denies the right
ral Government to call it to
to any "other Feder
account for its votes," he is putting the case in its
true light before us, and all independent men and
constitutional Governments will applaud alike his
zeal and discretion. It is, in truth, a piece of un-
paralleled effrontery for the Cabinet of Berlin to go
on in this fashion ; but the fact is that they are
spoiled by success, which in a bad cause exercises a
very demoralising influence upon people, whether in
a private or public capacity. It is doubly fortunate
that at this critical Juncture the Bavarian Govern-
ment should have spoken

which Herr VON DER PFORDTEN treats the second
part of Herr VON BISMARK'S despatch. His re-
marks are quite unanswerable in their acuteness and
ability, and he is really to be envied the opportu-
nity afforded him of putting down extraordinary
assumption, and also of exhibiting his perspicacity and
foresight. He declares that he is quite willing to join
with the Prussians in examining into any danger
that may assail the Diet, and goes so far as to
concur in the observation that the existence of the
Confederation was certainly threatened upon the
occasion referred to of the sth of December last,
but that A different decision must be taken as to
