Paris, Decemb. 22.  On the 16th the Royal Academy of Musick
celebrated in the Church of the Barefooted Augustins a
service for the repose of the soul of a young woman who had
been a actress of the opera;  All the actors and actresses
of the opera were to have sung the hymn Dies illa and the De
Profundis, but just as the musick was beginning to play,
came an order from Cardinall de Noailles to forbid it.
