What is said in some journals that a number of great mercantile houses have left Leipsic, is unfounded, As not .►roe house of consequence has removed its backless from that city. It is only tree that the trade in colonial articles has been mostly transferred from Leipsie to Altenburg, &c. This is chiefly caused by the dreadful roads about Leipsic, that to Dresden only excepted. In every other direction the roads, after rain, are nearly impassable, and even dangerous. It is often necessary to put ten or twelve horses to a waggon, on the Saxon roads leading to I.eipsic.
