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

/ ) PROPOSED to be held upon the ground, on
j. 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 a wharf
without Tightening.
The proprietor of this Site after a residence of
twelve years at Galveston, the last Elk 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 TeKas,) has selected La Sale in perfect
confidence that it possesses, more than any other
place, from the mouth of the Mississippi TO Yuca-
tan, decidedly superior advantages for conccntra-
ton Of the principal trade of the Gulf
II Is not deemed necessary % speak at large OF
the peculiar convcucnccs and advantages Of the
position of La Sale. slight glance at the map
(taken in conncxon with the fact that il presents
the best entrance and anchorage TO be found for
many hundred miles on that part fthe Gulf will
show conclusively 20 intelligent men that it 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 Lorcdo
or Eagle Pass, embracing Fl Paso del Norte, Chi
huahua, Durango, Sonora, &c. Already the trade,
which for quarter Of a century past has gone 10
these regions by way Of Santa Ft, is taking the
route by way OF the bay Of Matagorda. From tins
nay 10 the Guy OF bnlhuanuds lnt IL lc-s
than from Santa Fe. No question is therefore en- (
terained that nine tcnths Of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa Re trade WILL after tho pres
ent year, take its course by La Sale from all the
eastern f not also the westerly cities of the Union.
IL may also be looked upon an adjudicatcd fact
by the common sense Of the world, that the over
land line of trade and travel between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, whenever il may be resolved
on national work, must have it's best eastern
terminus practically at la Sale, wherever IL may
suit politicians men sectonally interested (os-
tcnsibly) fix il. IL will certainly be the point Of
cmbarcation for the principal emigration from Eu-
rope 10 the State of Texas.
Facilities in wharf, warehouses, hotel &c, hav-
ing been recently constructed at La Sale, the pro-
prietor now with great confidence presents il the
consideration Of Intelligent, practical men, who
may wish Immediately to engage in active bust
ness, make profitable investments in real estate
ahording more certain and greater advantages
than have been afforded, since the commencement,
of this progressive century, at any point west
Of the Aleghanies.
