upon the mainland exactly at the northwestern
angle of the Gulf of Mexico, at the terminus of the
present line Of mail-stcamers from New Orleans

have been principally devoted by him 10 hydro
graphical and typographical examinations OF the
Gulf Of Mexico (and moro especially Of the entire
coast Of TeIas,) has selected La Sale in perfect
confidence that II possesses, more than any other
place, from the mouth Of the Mississippi to Yucca

position Of La Sale. A slight glance at the map
(aken in connerion with the fact that IT presents
the best entrance and anchorage 20 be found for
many hundred miles on that part of the Gulf) will
show conclusivoly % intelligent men that il must

San Antonio, Guadalupe, La Bacca, Navidsd, Col
orado, Caney, and Bernard rivers in Texas, as we'll
