By letters from Malaga, we are informed, that the Constellation, American frigate, had just arrived from Toulon, after a short passage, and that the French were then arming every thing they could with the utmost activity in that port.
The captain of the Constellation said, "That he had been treated with much greater civility, and attention by the French than formerly, and that they seem now to wish to conciliate the friendship of the Americans." Nothing more probable, if they intend going to war with us.
