MUNDY. Rec.Sec. -THREE DAYS LATER FROM ENG- LAND. The packet ship Wellington, Capt. Chad- wicki arrived yesterday from Portsmouth, Utn ult., to whom we are indebted for pa- pers of the latest dates from London. By the way of Halifax, there are also dates from' London to the 7th ult. The political news/ is not of the slighest importance, but its it connects itself with the important events now passing on this side of the water, ftappears that the British Government 'have recalled both Lord Gosford. the Governor General of the British North American Provinces, aad Sir Francis B. Head, the L[eufti:Governorof Upper Canada. The grounda|>f these chan- ge* we do not find stated; hut it is very pro's- bable the British Whig Government finds it impossible to sustain itself and thetn too, so that ic is reduced to the necessity of aban- doning tbem, and trying what may be the ef- fect on the Canadas of a conciliatory arid newly appointed Governor. Lieut. Goviffe nor Head is to be succeeded by Col. Sits Genres Arthur. i ' v ^ < The Courier, a.Ministerial paTper in speak- 1 \ ing of the recall of the Earl of Gosford, says: —\ We believe that Iris lordship's successor is not yet appointed, but most probably he will, be a military man.\ Tbe same paper says '\ Sir Francis Head comes home because he does not find, we understand, the income of his situation equal to support the dignity of his office.\ The recalls are usnally soft-, ened by such statements. ted autfibrf'whose^ both as aaoratdrahdj! ger to fame, \a^^^e'deTtiHon spread over the land,\ whic|Mni$ ? be\ truly said to have turned meh|®rTOie (rue path to prosperity, which •theiiprea'son and judgment pointed out to^tnenivHuto a narrow foot-path, where it is iuraojsibte to ^maintain a foothold suffi.- --.,... ffrmio obtain success. But thanks. Ite'^'Be-intelligence nf the people, they do iftiot lone!'remain deceived, and woje lo tho'se \whnjhave pulled tbe wires, whereby the peo„ pie have been led into error, and tempted, to swerve from the straight-forward course of democracy~wo b.ri Vo those, who have \ spread .this strange delusion over the land^\' when the people, are once aroused to tbe knowledge^ that they have been most egre\-\ giously deceived by those who* assume jo; themselves the character and place of pafty leaders. It is a trite, but yet undeniable saying, \ that when democratic 1 :principles are once' established, they remain immoveable.\ The experience of oar country has, jo, th? short period of sixty years, rendered this once prob- lematical remark a perfect iruism. \indeed the fact-has become so incorporated in Our national history, that it is only occasionally' we find any person so wilfully ignorant, or. so presuming as to assert the contrary, >H.gs mocracy, based upon^the simple lawfcof'nW'' tare—interwoven with, the most\ apparent truths* and so congenial to the principles and existence of true liberty,.„can never be shaken ^roth its .foun'tljtffln, nor its trans- cendant beaufic's obscd|id; ,Like truth it* self, it may for a time vile oferahadowed by the perversions of wicked and destgnibg men^ and even tbose-who rSnkjihemselves under lis banker\ may'be troubled w'uh'aoVbts and misgivings;, and wen.be 40 bjin^ed'.by the ^Taisrepre^entatrftiis of -then- enntni*;'^ to alienate tiiemselves from its protection, yet democracy itself, unmoved by'iany tumults around it, unweakened by the rdajeyo'lent attacks of its opposers, rises over them all, and looks d.o^n with, reaj pity upon its mis guided an'd^rjpg foes. On belonging tfttfte State, con some fourteen piec.es .. The entire of tbe Island, from the best inform- , can obtain, was 700 men, all told.— reditable to General Van Rensselaer, ith this foree,\ne contrived to keep off ioriee on the main land of about 4000 men, ucentroted in the neighborhood of Chip- \m„- The Caoadians'were afraid to attack m. ; beihR apprehensive that his force was much greater, \and 'bafsoine Yankee c„on- irivHooes were in preparafftn for t^heir.^ de- struction^' \ •*-••* v \ It is now saidthe enterprise is not.aban- d.ineti.

M., Mr. H. S. Julian, the trtfasurer of tbe Mechanic's Sav-; ings Institution, on returning from his din- ner, A> rind - the door of the banking house fasteneil. He soon succeeded in forcing it, andon entering it saw Capt. Clarendon E. Dix standing before him with the cancelling hammer of tbe bank in his bund. Dix 'in- stantly rushed upon Julian and struck him two or three times on the head with the ham- mer, but the latter wreocbed the instrument from: rrrshand Trad rusired xrut of tbe door,\ and immedjatelyheard the report of a pistol. The- alarm was of course given, and sever- al citizens entered the bank, and found that Dix hhdshotliimself through the head, after having, prior to the entrance of Julian, mur- dered the clerk, Mr.-Owen Parker, by Strik- ing him on the head with the hammer, and crushed in a dreadful manner the whole one side of his skull. Parker was struggling in the last agonies of Jeath when he was dis> covered. We saw Dix about 4 o'clock yesterday, when he was still breathing, but he died a- bout an hour afterward. SeveraJ quarts of btgod bad streamed from the dead and dying. Mr. Julian's wounds it is feared are danger- ous, but 6trori!fhop~e3rare entertained that' they are uotrriortnl. They money drawer of the bank was found open, and there is little doubt that Capt. Dix entered the bank for the purpose of commit- ting robbery. He has lived in -this city for several years, and has generally been esteem- ed a respectable young gentleman, although we are informed that suspicion attached to hirrt two or three years ago In the affair of the robbery on board the steamboat Phila- delphia.

They seek to bring odium upon its, by rep- resenting our ductrines .to be such,- as in fact, are as totally different, 'nay, as much opposed to the true doctrine of our party, as whig principles themselves are. They even go so far in tbeir hardihood, as to as- cribe to us motives and tenets, which, if they belonged to us, would most deservedly bring down upon our heads, the enmity and ab- horrence of all good men. It is alike strong evidence of the justness and strength of our cause, and the weakness and wickedness of that of our enemies, Ihat they depart from the long established usages of party warfare, and wander abrtfad in search of new aidsto>help them onward in their scurrilous and despicable attacks. We need no stronger weapon of defence,\ tKan a plain and true statement of our principles, and a candid and unprejudiced canvassing of our pretensions. We adopt certain rules to guide us, which have been tested by ample experience, to be best adapted to promote general happiness. We consider and clainj certain measures as democratic, because* they have proved themselves not onty'lo be most acceptable to the people, but also, to be based upon snch a foundation oftfjutb and^justice, that- their propriety cannot be reasonably doubted, much less -denied. Now if those who are soundmg tbe alarm through the land—decrying democracy and equal rights—slandering every honorable man who dares to assert himself to be,^ democratic republican, and imputing to that man the vilest motives, would only stop to consider what they sax doing, they would find their condwtt' not only unsupported by eiven a semblance of truth, but they would discover something within themselves, that tfould tell therni their course was very far from being right. If those who, oppose fTerrjbcracy, would only be governed by the dictates of reason, we should cease to see their public organs teeming with tbe vile abuse, and de- liberate falsities, which now disgrace tbem; afH then they might, with justice, claim to bold an equal rank with' decent men 1 ; and cliiira a little- credit for sirioeiri^y and purity of purpose.

THE FRONTIER *&RMY.—Gen. SCOTT has issued a General Order, in which he appoints Col. Worth, Chief of his staff, and Lieut. Keyes and Talcott his aids. Capt. Thom- as Asst. Quarter Master, Lieut. Thornton. Ordnance officer, and Doct. Hieskell, Sur^ geon. The Buffulo Daily Commercial stales that there is a rumor that the Patriots on Xake Simcoe have risen-in some force, seized the arsenal of the North West Fur. Company, and' are marching towards 'Toronto. After the evacuation of Navy Island, the Canadians, stationed three armed schooners to intercept tbe Barcelbna in her passage from Schlosser to Buffalo, but Gen. Scott gave them to understand if they fired into h^r, he would open his whole park of artil- lery upon them; and they deeming discre- tion tbe better part Of valor, suffered her to pass unmolested. *••'' - W. L. MCKENZJE.—Tbe Buffalo papers state that this man was very insolent, and abusive when recently arrested by the Mar- shal, although he was treated with the ut- most politeness and forbearance. He abu- sed 1 our country, its laws, its officers, and' particularly those present; he disgusted even his mo3t intimate friends. This is not, we believe, the first time, he has taken it upon himself to abuse our government, when travelling through the country. SCHLOSSER.—Although the war has end- .ed for the present on our frontier, yet,.as\the place which bears the name at the head of this article, has figured quite conspicuously in the scenes recently enacted there, we wjlj state for the information of some wbat we .-know concerning it. Schlosser is a Dutch name; the Sch has the sound of the Engr lish Sk, and-the 0 has the sound of the Eng- lish short u, and is pronounced as if writ- ten— Shlusser. It was formerly a/o>t,; but, there is no remains of it now, save a chim- ney or two.

Gen. Scott has placed an armed force on board of the Schr. Savannah, and '-the j 'Steamboat Barce+ona,' at Buffalo, to prevent their leaving that port. The property of Wm. L. M'Kenzie, one of the Patriot leaders, has been seized, and he is advertised as an absconding debtor. , WHIG CONSISTENCY.—T/he self-styled Whigs, (^Jtfre patriots, no doubt!) are vociferous in their denunciations of tbe 'aw. p\roI)ibiting_the isistency is no part of their creed, as is evinced by the following Resolution passed^by the jWhig State Convention, held in Utica for the nom- ination of Governor, &c, in 1834. Be- sides this instance (one among hundreds) nearly every Whig Member of the Legis- lature voted for the law prohibiting the circulation of bills under five dollars. \ Resolved, That we trust that the whig legislature to be elected at the coming fall election, will adoptstrong and early meas- ures to effect a gradual and efficient reduc- tion of the circulation of \small bills,-and save our citizepsf frbmy the;> frauds and impositions, whicjjmay be practised by the bankmgcofppfatjjons throughout the state.\ COLLECTOR OF THE PORT or Nxw- YORK—Can it be just or politic that our political friendsin the great Emporium of these United States, should have inflicted up- on them in tbe important and influential of- fice of Collector, a political opponent, or one who gives the administration a mere negative support ?
