Additional Information
The mentioning of the names of Prussian Prime minister Haugwitz, General Walmoden and the city of Osnabrück seems to point to the Rassemblement of Osnabrück, a regrouping of the remnants of the Dutch army after the defeat against Revolutionary France early 1795 under British and Hanoverian supervision, but this is not absolutely sure. Therefore this key may have been made by a secretary of Prince William V during his exile in London. It is a homophonic cipher with a nomenclator for names and places.
