The Prince was accompanied by his Minister-President, the Prince of Hohenzollern, who took the opportunity of having long conversations with the Ambassador to St. Petersburg. It is said that as a result of this the Minister, who wished to be relieved from a post which was daily becoming more burdensome, advised the Prince Regent to appoint Bismarck Minister-President.
It did not matter that Bismarck himself was not only Chancellor of the Diet, but also Minister-President of Prussia and Foreign Minister, and was really acting in accordance with the instructions he had given to himself ; the principle remained, each envoy to the Diet was responsible, not to the Reichstag, but to the Government he represented.

In the new Federation he intended to have a single will directing the whole machine. The matter is of some interest because of the light it throws on one side of his character.
