Last evening seven Chiefs of the Ottawa nation, friendly to the United States, visited Tammany Society of the City of New-York, agreeable to previous invitation, for that purpose. They arrived in this city from a friendly visit to the Seat of the General Government, being the first appearance among us. The Manhattan Society attended the Tammany, dressed and decorated in the Indian costume, which appeared peculiarly to engage the attention of the visitors. They were received with the ceremonies customary amongst the Aborigines of our country, and were presented each with a medal and sachem's badge. When approaching the Grand Sachem of the Society, and exchanging civilities he addressed them in a friendly Long-Talk relative to the friendship existing between our government and their nation,—the desire of continuing the same and avoiding every thing that might tend to excite discord and enmity between us, which was translated to them by their interpreter. After which one of their number (their orator) rose and addressed the Grand Sachem in their language in reply in a manner apparently spirited and sincere, which was translated in like manner by the interpreter. After passing round the calumet, a number of patriotick songs were sung by the members of the Society, after which the Chiefs gratified the audience with several songs after the manner of their nation. They parted in strong expressions of friendship.
