33, 35, 36, 61, 62, 64, 67, 68, 71, 109, 126, 128, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 139, 140, 141, 142, 144, 180, 182, 185, 193, 219, 222, 233, 243, 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 259, 260, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 297, these numbers mark the tribunals, as well those, which I have already mentioned, as many other subaltern ones, which depend on them. There is one for the physicians. 101, 119, 121, 124, 125, 129, 148, 149, 155, 161, 162, 166, 172, 174, 175, 176, 192, 194, 195, 202, 208, 209, 216, 220, 221, 224, 232, 237, 238, 239, 241, 244, 247, 249, 262, 263, 264, mark the palaces of the princes of the blood, who are divided into several classes _Tsing ouang_, _reguli_ of the first order; _Kun ouang_, _reguli_ of the second order; _Pey le_, _reguli_ of the third order; _Pey tse_, _reguli_ of the fourth order; _Kong_, or counts, divided still farther into other classes; and _Tsiang kun_, or generals of armies, divided likewise into other classes. Some years ago the emperor caused to be measured the circumference of the walls of _King tching_, of _Hoang tching_, and of _He kin_, _&c._ as likewise the breadth of the streets, the space filled by the _miao_, our three churches, that of the Russians, palaces, _&c._ The Chinese city was not measured. A drawing of all this was made at large, and then reduced to a smaller scale, as it appears here. I will not undertake for the perfect exactness of it, either in the measures or the reduction. All this is by a Chinese hand. The foot made use of in this mensuration is to that of France as 1000 to 1016. 1800 of these feet make a _ly_[150]. By the scale to be seen in the small plan, and from the dimensions of the south and east walls of _King tching_, may be deduced all the dimensions. The circumference of the walls of the Chinese city has been formerly measured, and well, by several measures; and the result of them may be seen here by the scale. The south wall of _King tching_ is from east to west eleven _ly_ and near a third. The east wall from north to south is nine _ly_ and some paces. So that the city is not square, as several persons have written. The persons employed by the emperor to measure did not think of measuring the space, which contains the house and church of the congregation _de propagandâ fide_. This house and church are situated to the south between number 207 and a small bridge to the west of number 201. In the accounts sufficient mention has been made of the walls and gates of the city of _King tching_; for which reason it is not necessary for me to say any thing concerning it.
