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

rs PROPOSED to be held upon the ground, on
Il FRIDAY, the Odd day of November next.
la Sale, which will henceforward be the port OF
entry for the largest trade on the gulf ia 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 can
come TO anchor and discharge cargo at a 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 ii possesses, more 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 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
(aken in connoDion with the fact that 1t presents
the best entrance and anchorage TO be found for
many hundred miles on that part ftbe Gulf) will
show conclusively 20 intelligent men that II must
command the entire trade of the rich valleys of tho
San Antonio, Guadalupe, La Baoca, Navidad, Col
orado, Caney, and Bernard rivers in Texas, we'll
the trade Of all northern Mexico, west OF Joredo
or Eagle Pass, embracing FL Paso del Norte, Chi
huahua, Durango, Sonora, &c Already the trade,
which for quarter Of century pact has gone to
these regions by way Of Santa F6, is taking the
route by way OF the bay of NataeOrda. From this
bay TO the city of Chihuahua, the distance is less
than from Santa Fe No question is therefore
tertained 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 also the westerly cities of the Union.
II may also be looked upon adjudicated fact
by the common sense of the world, that the
land line of trade and travel between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, whenever IL may be resolved
a national work, must have its best eastern
terminus (praotcally) Mt La Sale, wherever II may
suit politicians or men scctionally interested los
tensby) 10 fix IT, IL will certainly be the point of
embarcaton for the principal emigration from Eu-
rope TO the State Of Texas.
Facilities in wharf, warehouscs, hotel, &c, hav-
ing been recently constructed nj La Sale, the pro-
pretor with great confidence presents II 70 the
consideration Of intelligent, practical men, who

OF this progressive century, at any one point west
