London,. . . August 9. . . We hear from Weymouth, that the
four Indian chiefs and three women, who landed there a few
days ago, waited on Mr. Pitt's family, who are now there,
and one of them made a speech to his eldest son; after
which, they were carried, in one of Mr. Pitt's coaches, to
the new assembly room where the ball was opened by the duke
of Kingston. The Indians appeared highly delighted with the
dances, and afterwards danced according to their manner with
the war whoop; and one of 'em afterwards danced a hornpipe
in the English manner.
Orders are given for the Indian chiefs and women, just
arrived in town from America, to be supported at the
government's expence, during their stay here.
