diftrift of Hafhar were reckoned abotit 6©>000 families f without comprifing thofe who had followed-tpie rebels,
and aboat 14,500 people exiles in the cqifatry;6n the III. Hafhar was little more than ten li Gprobafily OB850
to the degree) in circuit, and only contained 2500 families. To the eaft of Hafhar were fituated Ouchei and
Akfou. Between tHs «ft tbwa and; Hafhar were three towns, Poifonp^t-hotchil, Po'i-inke, "Entorehe ; and
two large villages, Peferguen and Arvouat, inhabited by about 6,000 families. To the'weft of Hafhar were
the Burma of Ertchi-yen, (probably Adjian ;) and between the two, the towns of Paha-ertouche, Opil,
Tajamelik; and the villages of .Sairanf and Tokoufak, which however were only computed at 2200 families.
To the fouth of Hafhar, before arriving at Yerquen, are fituated two towns, Inkatfar-han, Kalik ; and two
hamlets, Tofohoun and Kavalkar: the four containing about 4400-families. Finally, to the north of Hafhar,
are the Buruts, properly fo called,- to whofe country one paffes by the town of Arkoni, and the village of
Horhan, which may contain nearly 800 families, On a general computation, the Mahometans depending bn
Hafhar were about 16 000 families, eftimated at 100,000 heads, as is proved by the public regifters.”
There were fifteen degrees'of magiftracy; among which the chief was that of Akim or governor.of the city ;
his lieutenant the Hichehan ; the Hatfee, or judge of criminal affairs ; and the Marab, or colleftor of the
'taxes. The letter of Tchao-hoei to the emperor, 13th September 1759, prefents further particulars. Chinefe
garrifons were eftablifhed even in fmall polls, as Opil, TajameliE, Tchik, Entorche,, and1 Pa'i'-foupath.
-Meanwhile Foute puriued the fugitive Ho-tchoms, or Mahotnetan chieftains, whom he defeated at Atchour,
whence they fled towards Badakfhan, and arrived at Poulok-kol. Foute continued the purfuit to the great
range of mountains (Belur-Tag); and learnt from a native, that the enemy had palled, and arrived near Badakfhan,
but had ftill a very high mountain to afcend, fituated between two lakes, that on the one fide being
called Poloun-ko], and that .on the other fide Ifil-kol. Beyond the former is a high' mountain, whence Badak-
fhan may be defcried. Foute purfued the Mahometans again;’ defeated them amidft the mountains, and' fume-
moned the governor of Badakfhan to furrender the Mahometan princes. One had died in battle, but the head
o f the other was feht to Pekin; and the Chinefe general retired fatisfied with his fuccefs *.
