You can use webrequest method and regex.
This regex can take anything between p tags.

<(?!\/?p(?=>|\s.*>))\/?.*?>

string htmlstring = string.empty;           
HttpWebRequest hwRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(Url);

hwRequest.Method = "GET"

HttpWebResponse hwResponse = (HttpWebResponse)hwRequest.GetResponse();

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(hwResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
    htmlstring = sr.ReadToEnd();
}

hwResponse.Close();

then use regular expression to extract "p" tag in htmlstring
