London.  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 them afterwards danced a hornpipe in the English manner.
