Mr. Hammond to the Secretary to the Admiralty Foreign Office November 7, 1861 Sir, I am directed by Earl Russell, with reference to my letter of yesterday, to request that you will acquaint the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that his Lordship would suggest that Rear-Admiral Milne should be instructed to assemble the ships of his squadron at Port Royal, Jamaica, and should settle with the commanders of the French and Spanish squadrons, which will assemble at Havana, on what date the British squadron shall appear off Cape St. Antonio to effect a junction with them.
