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.

. . ,
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. The extract, in Me
