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 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 Matagorda, 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 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 moro 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 Yucca
tan, decidedly superior advantages for conccntra-
ton of the principal trade of the Gull.
Ii is not deemed necessary to speak at large of
the peculiar conveniences and advantages of the
position of La Sale. slight glance at the map
(taken in conneIion with the fact that 1t 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 Bacca, Navidad, Col
orado, Caney, and Bernard rivers in Texas, we'll
the trade of all northern Mexico west of Loredo
Eagle Pass, embracing FL Paso del Norte, Chi
huahus, Durango, Sonora, &c. Already the trade,
which for quarter of a 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 the city of Chihuahua, the distance IL less
than from Santa Fe. No question is therefore
teraincd that nine tonths of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa re 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
II may also be looked upon an adjudicated fact
by the common Of the world, that the
land line of trade and travel between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, whenever it may be resolved
a national work, must have its best eastern
terminus practically at La Sale, wherever II may
suit politicians men sectionally interested los
tensibly) TO fix il. IL will certainly be the point OF
embarcation for the principal emigration from Eu
rope TO the State Of Texas.
Facilities in wharf, warehouses, hotel, &c, hav-
ing been recently constructed at La Sale, the pro-
prietor with great confidence presents it TO the
consideration of intelligent, practical men, who
may wish Immediately to engage in active bust
meas, make profitable investments in real estate,
as afordng more certain and greater advantages
than have been afforded, since the commencement
of this progressive century, at any point west
Of the Ailegbanies.
