All the Mogul nations under the Chinefe government, 
of which we have given an account in the clofing para¬ 
graph of this article, are divided into four principal tribes, 
which are, the Moguls properly lb called, the Kalkas, 
Ortous, and Tartars of Kokonor. The country of the 
Moguls, according to the map of Chinefe Tartary, taken 
from the Memoirs of the Jefuits, extends more than three 
hundred leagues from ealt to weft, and two hundred from 
north to fouth ; it is inclofed between the country of the 
Ortous, the Great Wall, Eaftern Tartary, and the country 
of the Kalkas ; thefe people compofe forty-nine hi, or 
ftandards ; every ftandard comprehending an indetermi¬ 
nate number of companies, each of which confifts of 150 
heads of families ; and each company may be reckoned to 
contain one thou fan d individuals. Beiides thefe forty- 
nine ftandards, there are five others, under the immediate 
government of the emperor of China, and commanded by 
officers whom he fends thither. 
The beft-cultivated canton of all the Mogul territories 
is the diftrid of Cartching, near the Great Wall, where 
the emperor every year hunts, and where he has caufed 
to be built feveral pleafure-houfes, the principal of which 
is Ge-hol. The exteniive domains in this diftrid, belong¬ 
ing to the emperor, are let out to farmers ; and the num¬ 
ber of cattle kept by them is immenle. It has been laid 
that they reckoned there 190,000 fheep, diftributed into 
225 flocks, and almoft as many oxen and cows, divided 
into herds, each of which contained one hundred. The 
number of ftallions there is more confiderable. Thele 
riches in farms, ftuds, and flocks, make greater impreflion 
on the minds of the Tartar and Mogul princes, and ren¬ 
der them much more fenfible of the majefty of the empe¬ 
ror, than all the magnificence of his court at Pekin. Anc.
