present line of mail steamers from New Orleans
TO that coast and embraces the only ground upon
the western margin OF the bay of Matagorda, where

The proprietor of this site, after a residence Of
twelve years at Galveston, the last six of which
have been principally devoted by him to hydro
graphical and typographical examinations Of the
Gulf of Mexico, (and more especially of the entire
coast OF Texas,) has selected La Sale in perfect
confidence that IL possesses, more than any other
place, from the mouth of the Mississippi to Yuca-
tan, decidedly superior advantages for concentra-
ton Of the principal trade Of the Gulf
