PUBLIC SALE OF LOTS IN THE CITY
OF LA SALE,

rs PROPOSED to be held upon the ground, on
l. FRIDAY, the 22d day of November next.
La Sale, which will henceforward be the port of
entry for the largest trade the gull, is situate
upon the mainland exactly at the northwestern
angle of the Gulf of Mexico, at the terIius or the
present line Of mail steamers FROM New Orleans
to that coast, and embraces the only ground upon
the western margin Of the hsy OF Matagorda, where
vessels drawing more than six feet of water can
come to anchor and diScharge cargo at wharf
without Tightening.
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
Gull of Mexico, (and moro especially of the entire
coast of Texas,) has selected La Sale in perfect
confidence that it possesses moro than any other
place, from the mouth of the Mississippi to Yucca
tan, decidedly superior advantages for concentra-
ton of the principal trade Of the Gulf
IL is not deemed necessary 10 speak at large OF
the peculiar convenience and advantages OF the
position of La Sale. slight glance at the map
taken in conneIion with the fact that it presents
the best entrance and anchorage TO be found for
many hundred miles on that part OF the Gulf will
show conclusively to intelligent men that IL must
command the entire trade OF the rich valleys of tho
San Antonio, Guadalupe, La Baccs, Nsvidad, Col
orado, Caney, and Bernard rivers in Texas, we'll
as the trade of all northern Mexico, west Of Loredo
or Eagle Pass, embracing FL Paso del Norte, Chi
huahua, Durango, Sonora &c. Already the trade,
which for quarter of century past has gone to
these regions by way Of Santa Re, is taking the
route by way OF the bay Of Matagorda. From this
than from Santa re. No question is therefore
ertaned that nine tenths Of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa Fe trade will, after the pres
ent year, take its course by La Sale from all the;
eastern f not also the westerly cities of the Union.
IL may also be looked upon as an adiudicstcd fact
by the common sense of the world, that the over
land line of trade and travel between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, whenever il may be resolved
on as national work, must have it's beet eastern
terminus practically at La Sale, wherever II may
suit politicians or men sectionally interested (os-
tensibly) fix II. II will certainly be the point RI
