They write from Rome, that the Pope hearing the Italian
singers were performing an opera in London, call'd La
Rebellion, Punita, (in praise of the Duke of Cumberland, and
to degrade the Pretender) he has excommunicated all the
Roman Catholicks belonging to the English opera, and has
caused a list of them to be hung upon the pillars of St.
Bartholomew's Church in Rome, with an injunction, that if
they are found in any Roman Catholic country, they shall be
put into the Inquisition.
