RE-UNION OP THE SECESSION CHURCH.

This happy event was consummated on Friday the nth instant,
in Bristo Street meeting house, Edinburgh, the spat in which, 73
years before, the separation took place.
The two Synods met in the morning of that day, the General
Associate Synod in their Synod-house, Nicolson Street, and the
Associate Synod in the Rev. Mr. Lothian's meeting house, Ports-
burgh ; and after finishing the business that had been submitted
to them severalty, adjourned, constituted, to Bristo Street, at
half past 12 o'clock, walking in regular order to the place of
meeting: first the ministers, then the elders, probationers for the
ministry, and students of divinity. After the two Synods
were seated in a part 4.4' the meeting.house, which had been
railed in for their reception, and in alternate pews, en that they
were completely intermingled, the two Moderators in front of the
pulpit, and the two clerks at a little distance cm the right and )eft.
the senior :Moderator gave out a psalm (cii. 17-23.) in which the
Synods and whole attending multitude joined. The senior Mo-
dciator (!lie Ilev. Dr. Jamieson, of Edinburgh, belonging to the
General Associate Synod) then rose, and celled on the Clerk of
the Synod whom he represented to read their last minute. After
the clerk lied done so, the junior Moderator (the Bev. Mr. li.d-
iner, of Berwick, belonging to the A•sucinte Synod) in like
manner called on the Clerk of the Synod whom he represented
to read their last minute. The minutes read by the clerks in
succession were nearly in the same worsts, and to the following
edict

" The General Associate Synod, having accepted the basis of
Union, and having by the good hand of God upon them now
finished all their own business, and all preparatory arrangement•,
this Synod, with fervent gratitude toGod for having led them thus
far,and in I/ umble dependence on hisgracc to bless the solemn an,l
interesting step which they are now about to take, and to enable
them to improve the privileges and discharge the duties which
are about to devolve upon them in co:iscrittenee of it,—do re.
solve, and hereby record their resolution, forthwith to repair to
the appointed place, that they may unite with their brethren of
the other Synod, to be known by the name of "rhe United
Associate Synod of the Secession Church, composed of the Asso-
ciate (commonly called Burgher). Synod, and of the General
Associate (conrtnonly called Anti-Burgher) Synod,' that they
may henceforth walk with them in the fear of God and in the
comfort of the Holy Ghost, striving together for the faith of the
gospel, for the purity of divine ordinances, and for the enlarge-
ment of the church of Christ." . _ _

The articles which form the basis of union were then read, the
whole members of both Synods st.nding. After this was done,
the senior Moderator stood up and said, " I declare in the name
of the General Associate Synod. whom I represent, that the
General Associate Synod henceforth is one with the Associate
Synod ; and the junior Moderator in like manner rose and said.
"I declare in the name of the Associate Synod. whom! represent,
that the Associate Synod is henceforth one with the General Aura.
ciateSyncal." The two Moderators immediately gave one another
the right hand of fellowship. in which they were followed by all
the ministers and elders belonging to both Synods.
The United Associate Synod now called the senior minister
present in the house to take the chair, and officiate as moderator.
Accordingly the Rev. David Greig. of Lochgelly. took the chair,
gave out a Psalm (exxxiii.) and constituted the Court by prayer.
He was succeeded by the Rev. Dr. Pringle, of Perth, and the
Rev. Dr. Hall. of Edinburgh, the two next in seniority of the
ministers present. The former led the devotions of the Assembly
by singing Psalm xc. 13-17, and by prayer; and the latter by
reading the 17th chapter of John. singing. Psalm lxvii. 17-19.
and by prayer. After the devotional exercises were finished by
singing Psalm exlvii. 1-3. the roll of the United Associate Synod
was called by the former clerks, and business adjourned till
Tuesday at eleven o'clock.
The multitude who witnessed this event, memorable in the
history of the Secession. was immense; bur notwithstanding the
of the crowd eager to be admitted. the whole was swa-
grue=re with the greatest order. For this the Synod feel them-
selves deeply indebted to the Magistrates of Portsburgh. who not
only honoured them with their presence during the solemnities of
the day, but in the handsomest manner ordered a strong party
of constables to attend. whose conduct. under the wise direction
of their Moderator, together with the goad disposition of the
public, secortal completely that decorum which became the
interesting transactions of the ocaision.
Upwards of 300 gentlemen connected with the Secession, and
sevetal of the Magistrates, dined together in Oman's New Rooms,
Waterloo Place, after the public services were finished, and spent
the evening with the greatest cordiality. The company brake
up about eight o'clock.

SIR THOMAS PleTorr.—The daily Papers have
given a description of the monumenterected by the
nation to the memory of this man. The account
concludes with stating, that " on the right, Britan-
nia, holding a palm of victory in her right hand,
points out the hero to the spectator as a proper
object of imitation, while Fame is about to crown
him with a wreath of laurel." We wonder whether
or not the sculptor has introduced the unfortunate
Louisa Calderon in the group, for the murder of
whom, when governor of a colony, he was tried at
the Old Bailey. The attendant circumstances were
of unprecedented cruelty, and Colonel Piston only
escaped hanging by a legal quibble, which assumed,
that as the laws by which the colony was governed,
before the British conquered it, authorised the ToR-
TURF, the governor pro lan. was authorised in what
he did.
Accounts received by Government, of the 2d
instant, from Listxm, state, that the Regency of
Portugal had issued a Proclamation for summoning
the Cortes of the Kingdom, in compliance with the
wishes of the Constitutionalists' and that both parties
professed the greatest respect for their country.
Since the unfortunate fate of the old man, who
was killed by the bear in the menagerie of the King
of France, the ferocious animal has been confined
within the gratings of his den, and has not Igen
suffered to walk about his spacious pit, in which he
has stifled three men. A parapet is to be erected
round the pit, to prevent similar accidents.
The following is an extract of a private lettter
from Cadiz, dated Sept. 1, 1820
'• d false Nporl Of the yellow lever has caused an
alarm to be spread, that will tie extremely injurious to
this place Tor several inotith.t to contr. But I deem it
ineuiiihent upon me to assure you, that the general pub-
lic fiedlth of this town and district is good, though seven
imulated cases of inflammatory Peter took place

have not, however, occurred, and the season it to healthy
as yet, that without some extraordinary circumstance,

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last state, that on
the 10th inst. two couriers of the Queen of England
landed at Calais, M. M. Govien and Forti Carlo,
charged to bring Bergami to England. A private
letter from France mentions, that the Countess of
Oldi and the sister of Mademoiselle Dumont, are

also coming to this country to give evidence in
favour of her Majesty. There is no further intel-
ligence in these papers respecting Lisbon ; but the
accounts from Madrid state, that the popular tumult
excited by the dismissal of Gen. Regio had subsided.
The enemies of the new constitution availing them-
selves of the disturbance endeavoured to add to the
clamour, and even were more vociferous than the
friends of the banished General. In an offieial

order issued by the Minister of War upon the occa.
sion, there is an assurance of the King's attachment
to the constitution, and a menace that his Majesty
will punish every attempt that may be made against
it. Naples enjoys profound tranquillity. The
elections in the provinces have terminated, and in
general the best informed men, and particularly
those of the literary class, have been returned
The troops of the line amount to 60,000, which
with the provincial militia will furnish an army of
not less than 100,000 men. The accounts from
Palermo, in these papers, are only to the 28th ult.
The Junta had caused an account of the battle of
Mount Baba era, and the taking of Caltanisetta, to
be publiAcd. Mount Bubaurra commands that
town, and it was this post, first taken by the Pa-
lermitans, which was afterwards retaken by the
inhabitants of Caltanisettu, who made use of
surprise during a negociation, and whilst conditions
of capit•dation were under consideiation, proposed
by the Dominican Father Anzalone, who had been
sent from the town, in quality of their spokeiman.
The conditions were-Ist. 1 hi:surrender at discre-
tion of the Intendant Gallego, of the President
Tomminelli, and of Lieut.-Colonel Chitarai, who

were considered as the instigators of the revolt.-
2dly. The payment of 20,000 ounces in 24 hours,
but which sum was finally reduced to 16,000 ois.
The Journal de PariN says, that a plot has Leen
discovered at Messina, which, if it Led succeeded,
would have had a m •st ruinous result Lur that city.
The Palcrtnitans, by weans of confederates which
they had in the place, were, it is said, to be intro-
duced by the conspirators at a fixed helm, to put ail
to fire and sword. It is ailded, that the !tact con-
siderable families in Messina arc implicated, and that
Princes, Barons, and Chevaliers, have bean arrested
and condemned to the citadel, to be instantly tried.
