SALES BY AUCTION.

TO EMIGRANTS AND SPECULATORS.

IMPORTANT SALE of LANDS in TEXAS, under the DOMI-
NION of AMERICA, calculated for AGRICULTURAL PUR-
POSES, and near several thriving Towns.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SUB-
MIT to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, on Times-
DAY, March 4, at Twelve, in various Lots,
SINGULARLY ATTRACTIVE ESTATES for the EMIGRANT
or SPECULATOR, comprising
10,643 ACRES of FREEHOLD LOCATED LANDS in TEXAS,
now under the Dominion, and in the Southern Part of America, and now
denominated the Land of Promise. The limits of an advertisement
preclude the possibility of entering into general detail of the flourish-
ing condition of this country, its genial climate, superiority of soil,
proximity to important water communication, all of which will be
fully described in the prospectus, with a description of each tract of
land, and the boundary as set forth in the title ; it will now be suffi-
cient to state that the Lands comprise -
NINE ORIGINAL TITLES, or SEPARATE ESTATES,
in the counties of Harris Liberty, Galveston, and Bexar, the smallest
Lot of which will be 320 Acres, and
THE LARGEST 4,605 ACRES,
surrounded by thriving farms, and not far distant from the populous
towns of Houston, Harrisburg, Montgomery, Trinity, and St.
Antonio de Bexa-, all excellent markets, with important navigable
resources. Also

6,090 ACRES OF FREEHOLD LAND,
in eleven original unconditional certificates issued from the Govern-
ment, for 320 and 649 acres each, which give the right to the pur-
chaser to select the land at any period and in any part of the
dominion of Texas then not allocated, and without the payment of
taxes till the land is located. A snore favourable opportunity for the
emigrant has never offered, the large sum now demanded for land in
America having turned the stream towards their new state of Texas,
where, in a very few years, the same large prices will be obtained,
and the located lands included in this sale are all ready for the pur-
poses of agriculture. _

Full prospectuses, affording much useful information, will be pub-
lished twenty-eight days prior to the sale, and may be had at the
Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool; Royal Hotel, Manchester; Albion Hotel,
Leeds ; White Lion, Bristol ; Norfolk Hotel, Norwich ; of Messrs.
Bush and Mullins, solicitors, Bt. Mildred's.coart, Poultry ; at the
Mart, and at Mr. deorge Robins's offices, Covent-garden.
