The pope was the recently installed Pope Leo XII, whose papacy started in September 1823.
This edict seems to have been only for the Jews of Rome.
Wikipedia mentions this along with another edict that Leo issued against the Jews:
Laws such as that forbidding Jews to own property and allowing them only the shortest possible time in which to sell what they owned, and that requiring all Roman residents to listen to Catholic catechism commentary, led many of Rome's Jews to emigrate, to Trieste, Lombardy and Tuscany.
