FROM PORTO CAvELLo-By the schooner
Splendid, Clark, the New York Gazette has re-
ceved confirmation of General Padilla having
been shot. In consequence OF news received that
the inhabitants OF Peru were unfavorable TO the
war with Colombia, the march of Colombian
troops towards that place had been counter iDand-
ed.
II is stated in the Comm. rria Of last evening,
that the Hon. Francis Bay lies was an applicant
for the coilectorshp of Boston. We dispose OF this
calumny in one word. 1t is u false and malicious
fabrication. NJ e. Post.
REMOVALS.
The .Intelligencer complains that Messrs. Hill
OF New Hampshire, Amos kendall OF kentucky,
and y. Greene Of Boston. have been appointed 10
office under the present administration. Does Mr..
Gales object to these gentlemen because they have
been editors of newspapers: Does the editor of
the Inteiligencer object TO these appointments up
on no other ground than that they were opposed 10
his re-eie c,ion printer TO Congress. AS to Mr..
Greene of Boston, venture TO affirm, that no
other appointment would have been so acceptable
10 the friends of the President in Boston. Mr. Hill
has been distinguished member of the legislature
OF his state, and received the vote of the jackson
party for senator to Congressman far as we
can ascertain public sentiment in New England,
no appointment could have been acceptable.
His political opponents admit him to be anahonest
man, possessing talents of the highest order, and
interchangeable industry. Mr.. Kendal's qualification
for the responsible office to which he has been APP
pointed. will not be questioned. AS to the cliarac-
ter and qualifications OF those who have been re-
moved, we will not speak. They have been weigh
ed in the balance and found wanting. To assa
them now is not, that we know OF, required by any
public duty, and might be of private injury
which we would avoid. We reserve ourselves for
some iacuinbents in office; who, having been the
open enemies and traducers OF the President, now
seek, by mean ssrviity TO court his favor, at the
same time that they insulting the President
through abusive articles in the Intelligencer and
journal. u. $. Eel.
