A 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 Mata gorda, 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 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 Texss,) has selected La Sale in perfect
confidence that 1t 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 Gulf
1t 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 it presents
the best entrance and anchorage to be found for
many hundred miles on that part Of the Cuff will
show conclusively to 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, we'll
the trade OF all northern Mexico west OF Loredo
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 to
these regions by way OF Santa Fe, is taking the
bay to the city Of Chihuahua, the distance is less
| than from Santa Fe. No question is therefore en-
tertaned that nine tenths Of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa Fe trade will, after the pres
ent year, take its by La Sale from all the
eastern f not also the westerly cities Of the Union.
IL may aso be looked upon adjudicated 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 a national work, must have its best eastern
terminus practically at La Sale, wherever il may
suit politicians or men secuonally interested (os-
tensby) To fix il. Ii 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 il to the
confederation Of intelligent, practical men, who
may wish Immediately TO engage in active bust
ness, make profitable investments in real estate,
adordne more certain and greater advantages
than have been afforded, since the commencement
of this progressive century, at any ono point west
of the Alieghsnies.

datc improvements, before the day of sale men,
