The abuvc information is said to have been brought by a cartel from France, arrived at Dartmouth,  Three oars were stolen on Sunday night last from the Cu.tom•house boat, which with another were secured on the preceding evening, by an iron bolt being run through them, with a lock fixed at one end, which the ;ohbers broke, together with the bolt other boats in Sutton Pool have also been robbed of the like articles. ~  In consequence Of directions from Dr. BELLAMY, chief Magistrate of this Borough, the Constables have been uncommonly active in theirendeavours to discover any of the persons concerned in the late most. atrocious murders in the metropolis. The ships in this port have been visited; and every person of a sus• . picious appearance found on board theM have been taken up and examined ; ,but we are given to under-. stand that no discovery has yet been made here -a any of the wretches concerned in those bloody deeds.
