London, Aug. 9.  We hear from Weymouth, that the four Indian
chiefs and three women, who landed there a few day 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. . .
