LONDON; WEIMSDAT) APRIL 25, MO. . • IP We have for some time past beeu in the habit of receiving numerous complaints, both from Townand Country, of ir regularity in the delivery of Tnn STATCSIIAN, arising partly from the late delivery of the Paper at the Office, anti partly from the Lubstitutilig of another Paper instead of it. We luxe, however, now the satisfaction to state, that by the removal of the late EDITOR, such inconveni ence is not again likely to occur, as the paper will in fu ture go to prow at an early hour, and the Newsmen may be supplied in due time, to enable then, to deliver it be fore Five &Clock in the most distant parts of the Town. We avail ourselves of the present opportunity to point out ;he advantages that would result to Au v r.wrissas, parti cularly in the Sale of` Estates and other Property, in Et vouring this Paper with their AdvertLements, front the very extensive circulation of Tan STATESMAN, and the vecpectabillty of its Readers.

THE STATESMAN. . . , Tao Mon:lrma Posr of this day affects to deny our statement respecting Mr. ROGER O'Coo- NoR ; but, in truth, we must suppose its argument of to-day is an easy manner of letting ilowu its assertion athl reasoning of yesterday. The Morn ing Post does nut now say, that Mr. ROGER O'CoNNoR ever signed the Confession, or even delegated any one to represent him on that occa sion.. From the same authority from which we made the statement of yesterday, we mean to say, that we believe Mr. R. O'CONNOR resisted the mea sure of tc Coufession throughout, and that the then Ministers would hare tried and executed him for that resistance, if they could have convicted him by any one of those means, they so well under stood, .and were so little reluctant to em ploy. Mr. ROGER O'CoNNOR is to be taken as innocent of any traitorous conduct or our. pose, if ha was neither tried, or being tried' was not convicted, nor escaped trial by sign. in; a confession, or delegating the persons who did sign such confession to represent him. — It is known lie was tried, and being tried, was honourably acquitted ; and it remains to be known whether our statement of yesterday is erroneous, Of not. The Post NOES NOT SAY IT IS. D les the writer, then, deny our conclusion, that if it,be accurate, Mr. R. O'CoNaloa is not to be taken as guilty of any traitorous coudoct, or purpese? Let lam do so, and we shall see what he will' make . of that proposition. But be.does try a little, *hat the 4441, aad now scoutettdoctrine of ' construe. ties treason, and suspicion of treason, will cio for him. The whole reasoni❑g that rests %poll the extract from the .Report of the Secret Committee of the House of Commons of May 1799, proceeds on the principle of admitti►►g the elocteitte of constructive treason. But The foie Pill do itself as little service or honour by so attgept to revive that doctrine, in, its columns, as Mr: Pat's p overuutcut and ::s wicked isistru goo* did by the attempt, at the Old Bailey, to' pinrder nodes its sanction.

And The Post says— " This of itself is sollicieot to sbew the connection* and par " titipation."—.... meaning between Mr. Rot= O'CoNstaa and A &Tatra O'Cormon. now is this male out ) but by the conclusion, that a man necessarily ap. proves of ever)/ thing written to him by a near relative or intimate friend L If any person is to' be deetoo4 guilty of treason upon such argil. ment as this, and If Sir }IRENE'S BURDETT is to be held up as au abettor of traitors t because he has among his friend* a Gentleman so made out to be traitor, then it is true, notwithstanding all this writer, or any other writer can say, that England is no longer worth preserving. The ex tract from a lyiag history, with which The Post concludes, coots Nor prove that Mr. It. O'CoNNou was " one of the self.convicted conspirators trans ported to Fort St. George." In short it proves nothing but the worthlessness of the writer of that history. FRENCH and DUTCH PAPERS, the farmer to the 18th, the latter to the ntl, have been received this morning, Extracts from which will bo found in a subsequcut column. The following Article appeared in the Morning Papers this day, and we need only refer to the Statesman of the 2lst instant, fur the opinion wo then expressed on the subject ; for we did conceive the report of the speech to be the act of some officious friend of Mr. %MUFF Wool), as we believe no such speech was magi: before the break ing up of the Meeting. , "Mr. Sheriff WOOD havingstated at the dinner, at the City of London Tavern, on Thursday last, (according to the report in several of the Morning Papers) that the two Civil Magistrates, whom be met in Piccadilly, on .Sunday, the Bth slant, thought proper to say, 64 that if the people did not disperse, they would order the troops to charge; but that threat was not executed, on account of his promptly telling those Magistrates, that if they attempted to hue such an order, and any death ensued, he would indict them for murder," we think it in. cumbent on us, as the two Magistrates alluded to, positively to assert, that no such conversation passed between the Sheriff and ourselves; that we never did entertain or express an intention of ordering the troops to charge ; and that Mr. 'Sheriff Wools never did use to us, or in our hear. lug, the threatening language stated to have been promptly used by him in reply ; and further, that his interference did not in any respect prevent any measure which the Magistrates, assembled at the Gloucester Coffee.house, thought proper to adopt, from being enforced and carried into complete ex. ecutiott. "ROBERT BAKER. "April 24, 1610. iIICHARD • It is said that Lord MiILGRAVE is to be placed at the head of the Ordnance, and be succeeded at the Admiralty by Mr. YGltli The principal part of the Dutch territory, which has just been united to France,• is to form a department, under the name of the Department del douches de Rhin, of which Bois le Due will be • the capital. The remainder, which consists chiefly of the isles of Zeal ind, will be united to the departments of the :.)eats Nethes. The East India ship Windham was in com pany with the Charlton and United Kingdom when they were raptured ; there is good reason now to suppose, that the Windham was also cap_ tared, but re.taken by the British blockading squadron. • Yesterday the di.patches for China, by the Su. ~at Castle, illnwick Castle, Canton, Bombay, and Royal George, were finally closed at the East India Rouse, and delivered to their respective Pursers.

The Morning Papers have been imposed upon, hi stating that William Maddox had been re prieved, as he was executed this morning agreeable to his sentence. SLAVE TaADE.—It appears by the Papers laid before Parliament, relative to the abolition of the Slave Trade, that there were strong objections on the part of the Portuguese Government, in 1807 and 1808, to the abolition of the Trade ; but in a memorandum from the Foreign Offieo, dated March 26) 1510, it is stated, that " An article upon the subject of the Slave Trade has been in. serted in the Brazil Treaty, now under considera tion, stipulating for the adoption, on the part of the Prince Regent, of measures for effecting a gradual abolition of that Trade throughout his dominions."—No step relative to this subject ap pears to have been taken by the Spanish or Swedish Governments; to the latter there ducs not appear to have been any communication. WILLIAM RICIIIAEDS, Esq. Collector of the Customs at Deal; received yesterday sc'unight, by post, .a letter, dated Deal, April 9, 1310, signed 6 6 Mr. Air Gun, witlinist a noise," and a pest cript signed " Burdett ;" stating, that a plan was laid to take away his life in February lass, but that the plot was discovered by a woman ; and warning Mr. Rumps to prepare for the world to come, and expressing the writer's hope that they should soon have the pleasure of seeing the blood from Mi.

CARLSTADT, MLacu 30.—Yesterday several detachments of cavalry set out for Sluing : and to day a park of artillery and a regiment of infantry began their march for the isaine_destination. These tru..is have orded to join the regiments at Sluino and Ogulino, and attack the Turks in case they do not voluntarily retire from Croatia. VIENNA, Aram 1.- r lntelligence has been re. ceived, that the Turks 4 having made en inroad into Illyrian Croatia, from Bosnia, attacked the army of Marshal Marinoitt, on the frontiers. They plundered all the plac'es into which' - they were able to penetrate, and curled their cruelty to the length of murileling even the sick in the French hospitals. This 'intelligence immediately caused,: the price of cottons to rise as high as 90 fforins o • as apprehensions are entertained lest the measures i , i which are likely to be adopted, in order to obviate ' similar hostilities for the future, should .intercept•l all communication, and obstruct the importation , I of cotton.

The new, road, which has just been completed near Dunstable, will shortly he abandoned, and the old one repaired, so as to be again fit for tut.'

The only wonder is, that the force of this reason should not happen to WV knowledged, before every inch of the new road had been finished, with no small delibetatieul and at an expellee of several thousands.
