A Parisian juggler, (we beg his pardon, we should any A rlist ,) announces, that he intends, with some 4kiik:iAtant, to dive Into the Seine, and treat the gaping saultitude with a representation of Neptune, Bacchus, Venus and Cupid, deseending in splendid cars, mid atter wards axending without wetting themselves.
