We hear from Weymouth, that the four Indian chiefs and three
women, who landed their a few days ago, waited on Mr. Pitt's
family, who are now there, and one of them made a speech to
his 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 appear'd 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.
Orders are given for the Indian chiefs and women, just
arriv'd in town from America, to be supported at the
government's expence during their stay here.
