In retaliation, Napoleon signed the Berlin decree, 21st November 1806, declaring the British islands under continental blockade. The English responded with the decree signed by King Georges III, referred to in the present letter, 11th November 1807, obliging any neutral vessel to pay rights to the British customs, and a month later Napoleon signed the Milan decree stating that any vessel paying such rights to the British would be considered an enemy and would be arrested.

I intend to cross the Elbe the 18th or 19th… Colonel Clement must keep his mission secret.´.

The navigation on the Elbe and Weser rivers forbidden to any nation..´.
