China since the election have indicated that there is considerable opposition to his election, and papers to land last night contain 1773. grave elurges as to the manner in which it was conducted. Under date of October 10, eight senators nnd eight representatives addressed a fetter to the Diplomatic Body in! Peking, containing certain specifici grounds on which the election was illegal and asking the Powers to withhold recognition. In addition, the letter was published in certain! of the vernacular papers as an appeat to the general public. Tho members of Parliament state that they possess many proofs of the illegality of the election and name the three principle ones as follow :—
