La Sale, which will hencciorward 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 Maia yorda 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 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 Iexas,) has selected La Sale in perfect
