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 Catholics belonging to the English opera, and has
caused a list of them to be hung upon the pillars of St.
Bartholomew's Church at Rome, with an injunction, that if
they are found in any Roman Catholick Country, they shall be
put into the inquisition.
