Osborne to Merivale (Permanent Under-Secretary)

Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty your
letter of the 10th Instant, with its enclosures from the Governor of
Vancouver's Island relative to the hostile movements of the Northern Indians, and conveying the request of Mr Secretary Labouchere to be
informed what Naval Force is stationed in the vicinity of the Island and
at what point stationed; I am commanded by their 
Lordships to acquaint
you that the Satellite has probably reached Vancouvers Island by this
time and that another Vessel is on her way there, but my Lords cannot
possibly say in what part of Vancouvers Island the Satellite may be.
