Depends on which part of the book... if it's near the beginning, then Hamlet asks them to pay no mind to his crazy behavior which he will fake later on.

What did Hamlet instruct Horatio to do after he died?
Hamlet asks Horatio to minutely observe the reactions of Claudius while watching the play. Hamlet considers that his own opinion may be prejudiced, thus he appoints Horatio as a neutral or third party observer to ensure an objective view.
Horatio Why does Hamlet trust and admire him How is he different from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are of these characters round or flat How can one justify Hamlet's argument for the?
Next time ask only one question. What I am going to answer is the question of the difference between Horatio and the inseparable pair Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and Hamlet's attitude to them. All of these men are schoolfellows of Hamlet who have unexpectedly arrived in Denmark. Yet Hamlet immediately takes Horatio into his confidence but challenges Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. As it turns out, this is an accurate assessment of them: Horatio is trustworthy, while R&G are spies. So our question is really "How does Hamlet know that Horatio is trustworthy and R&G are not?" The answer to this may lie in part in events and actions which happened in the past to which we, the audience, are not privy. There are, perhaps, two things which happen during the play which might have helped Hamlet come to this conclusion. First, Horatio comes to Hamlet to give information about the appearance of the ghost. But R&G do not have any information to give which would make their appearance less suspicious. Second, R&G respond to Hamlet's question about why they are in Denmark in an evasive way. They introduce the word "ambition" into the conversation out of nowhere. In other words, their speech is suspect and implausible. Not so Horatio's; when asked why he has come to Denmark his answer is immediate and clear: "My lord, I came to see your father's funeral."
What is the content of the letters the king sent with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to England with Hamlet?
Hamlet relays to Horatio that two days on his voyage to England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, they were overtook by pirates. Upon boarding the pirate ship to stand and fight, Hamlet was captured. Hamlet says in his letter that the pirates were well in their mercy, but of course expected some kindness back in some way. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are safely on their way to England still. Hamlet has been released by the pirates and now writes to Horatio to tell him that he's alright. He also tells Horatio to escort his messengers to the King and Queen, for they have messages for them too. Later on, Hamlet reveals to Horatio what Rosencrantz's and Guildenstern's fates are.

What three questions does horatio ask the ghost?
Not a dang thing. The ghost only talks to Hamlet; he will not talk to Horatio.
Why does Hamlet ask horatio to report me and my cause as he dies?
It's not clear. It may be just a ploy to stop Horatio from committing suicide by giving him a mission. But Hamlet is a fairly vain person, in a way, and he probably wants it known that he was trying to behave honorably and heroically, even though it all ended in disaster, and he wants Claudius permanently discredited.
What does Hamlet do to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and how does he justify it?
Hamlet fakes death warrants for Ros and Guil which are acted on by the King of England. Hamlet justifies this by saying that they were spies and got what they deserved, especially as this was the death which Claudius had planned for Hamlet with Ros and Guil's help. "They did make love to this employment" says Hamlet. Horatio is not wholly convinced, especially since R and G probably had no idea what their warrant said (it was sealed, remember). "So Rosencrantz and Guildenstern go to it" says Horatio, a bit disgusted by Hamlet's callousness.

What country in Horatio from in Shakespeare's Hamlet?
He is Danish. He knew Hamlet Sr. by sight (he says the ghost looked like him), he made a point of coming to his funeral, and most telling, he refers to him as "our king". Barnardo and Marcellus know him well enough to ask him to see the ghost. When Hamlet goes to England, Horatio stays and is on intimate terms with the Queen. When letters come by sea to him, he says "I do not know from what part of the world I should be greeted, if not from Lord Hamlet." This is unlikely as it is, since we know he has fellow-scholars at Wittenberg, but would be impossible if he had grown up in some other country. There is a counter-indication when he asks Hamlet, "It is a custom?" Surely if he had been hanging around the Danish royal court that much, he would know.
