A PUBLIC SALE OF LOTS IN THE CITY
OF LA SALE,

rs PROPOSED to be held upon the ground, on
Il FRIDAY, the 22d day of November next.
La Sale, which will henceforward be the port Of
entry for the largest trade on the gulf is situate
upon the mainland exactly at the northwestern
angle of the Gulf of Mexico, at the terminus of the
present line of mail steamers from New Orleans
to that coast, and embraces the only ground upon
the western margin OF the bay of Matayorda, where
vessels drawing more than six feet of water
come TO anchor and discharge cargo at wharf
without Tightening.
The proprietor of this site, after a residence of
twelve years ut 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 Tcxas) has selected La Sale in perfect
confidence that ii possesses, more than any other
place, from the mouth of the Mississippi to Yucca
tan, decidedly superior advantages for conccntra-
ton of the principal trade of the Gull.
IL Is not deemed necessary 10 speak at large of
the peculiar convenicnces apd advantages kthc
position Of La Sale slight glance at theMinp
(taken in connection with the fact that il presents
the best entrance and anchorage to be found for
many hundred miles on that part Of the Gulf) will
show conclusivcly to intelligent men that 1t must
command the entire trade of the rich valleys Of the
San Antonio, Guadalupe, La Bacca, Navidad, Col
orado, Caney, and Bernard rivers in Texas well
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 Fe, Is taking the
route by way OF the bay of Matagorda. From this
bay TO the city of Chihuahua, the distance is less
than from Santa F6 No question is therefore en-
tertaincd that ninetenths Of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa he trade will, after the pres
ent year. take it's course by La Sale from all the
eastern Of not also the westerly cities of the Union
IL may also be looked upon as an adjudicated fact
by the common 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 its best eastern
terminus practically at La Sale, wherever II may
suit politicians or sectiOnally interested (os
tensiby) to fix it, IL will certainly be the point Of
embarcation for the principal emigration from Eu-
rope 10 the State of Texas.

ing been recently constructed Mt La Salle the pro-
prieor with great confidence presents ii TO tho
consideration of intelligent practical men, who
may wish Immediately to engage in active bust
