PARISIAN Tnzararckts.
A new comedy entitled Le Pied d'Argile has failed at the Theatre Francais ; and a new piece entitled Un .Enfant du Sieete has been pro- dubed with success at the Vaudeville. The latter work, which is by MM. Paulin Deslandes and Joachim Duplot, is of a moral tendency; showing how a young gentleman, after a course of recklegs dissipation, retrieves himself by the honourable labours of a—doctor of music. The aggregate receipts at all the places of public amusement during the month of May amounted to 1,177,446f. 15c. ; which is a decrease of 27,027f. 66c. on the receipts of April. This decrease belongs to the theatres alone, (indeed, the items of balls, concerts, and miscellaniea;•■ show an increase,) and may therefore be considered a normal result of the season.
Florestan Prince of Monaco, died at Paris on the 20th instant. It is remembered that while his little principality was attached to the French Republic, he kept himself from indigence by acting small parts at the Ambigu Comique.
