London, October 12. On Thursday last the famous Signior
Farenelli was introduced by the Right Hon. the Lord Cowper:
He is just arrived from Rome, is the Principal Chorister in
the Popes Chappel and is allowed by all judges to be the
first voice in the world; the Court receiv'd him with
particular marks of esteem, and he had the honour to sing
before their Majesty's and the rest of the Royal Family, in
the Queen's ante-chamber, with vast applause.---'Tis said he
engaged for a large sum of money to sing during the winter,
at the Theater in Covent Garden.
