angle of the Gulf of Mexico, at the terminus Of the
present line Of mail. steamers from New Orleans

The proprietor Of this site, after residence Of
twelve years at Galveston, the last six of which

graphical and typographical examinations of the
Gull OF Mexico, (aud moro especially OF the entire

the peculiar convenience and advantages OF the
position Of La Sale. slight glance az the map

the best entrance and anchorage to be found for
