The Editor of the Bogota Constitu-
tionel, in speaking of the order to ar
rest General Paez, says-"However
much we may regret that an officer of
the rank of General Paez should have
rendered himself amenable TO the laws
of his country, 10 whose independence
he has so greatly contributed, we can
not, at the same time, refrain from ex-
pressing our satisfaction at observing
this disposition on the part Of the De-
legates OF the People to watch over the
rights of their constituents, and restrain
those who are entrusted with power for
the benefit of their fellow citizens, from
exercising, tito their prejudice.
