TCITCICAR-HOTUN, a town of Chinefe Tartary. 

 This is the ufual refidence of a Tartarian general, and capital 

 of a diftrift. This city was built to guard the frontiers of 

 the Chinefe empire from the Ruffians. The city is fortified 

 by clofe palifades, and a wall conftrufted of earth. The 

 fpace inclofed by the former contains the tribunals and the 

 houfe of the Tartar general ; that which is between the pali- 

 fades and the earthen wall is occupied by the foldicrs of the 

 Tartar garrifon, merchants, and tradefmcn, moft of whom are 

 Chinefe invited hither by hopes of gain, or condemned to 

 exile, and whofe houfes are only of earth, forming pretty 

 large ftreets. The jurifdiftion of tlie general who com- 

 mands here extends over the new cities of Merguen and 

 Saghalien-oula (city of the Black river) : the latter being, 

 on account of its fituation, the moft populous, the richeil, 

 and the moft important. It is fituated on the fouthern bank 

 of the river Saghalien, commands a plain in which feveral 

 villages have been built, and fecures to the Mantchcw Tartars 

 the pofTeffion of extenfive deferts covered with woods, io 

 which a great number of fables are found. 



The diftrift to which this city belongs is the moft northerly 

 of the three departments of Eaflcrn Chinefe Tartary. It is 

 occupied by different Tartar tribes, the principal of which 

 are the Mantchews, Solons, and the Tagouris, the ancient 

 inhabitants of the country. The two latter tribes fubmittcd 

 to the Mantchews, and implored their affiftance againft the 

 Ruffians or Mufcovites, who, with armed barks, palfing from 

 the Saghalien-oula into the Songari-oula, infeited all thf 

 rivers which flow into them, and made thenifclves furm:dable 

 to the Tartar nations who inhabited their banks. The 

 Ruffians would foon have become maftcrs of the valuable 

 forefts in which the fables are found, if the fort of Yafca, 

 which they built on the river Saghahen,had boon fuffered to 

 remain; but, by the treaty of peace concluded in 1689,
