PUBLIC SALE OF LOTS IN THE CITY
OF LA SALE,

rs PROPOSED 10 be held upon the ground, on
Il FRIDAY, the ODD day of November next
La Sale, which will hcnceiorward be the port of
entry for the largest trade the gulf, is situate
upon the mainland exactly at the northwestern
angle of the Gull 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 ycars 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.
IL is not deemed necessary TO speak at large OF
the peculiar convencnccs and advantages OF the
position Of La Sale. slight glance at the map
(taken in conneron with the fact that it presents
the best entrance and anchorage TO be found for
many hundred miles on that part ofthe Gulf will
show conclusively TO intelligent men that II 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
az the trade of all northern Mexico, wcst OF Loredo
or Eagle Pass, embracing III 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
route by way OF the bay of Maagorda. From this
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 prcs
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 adjudicatcd fact
by the common Of the world, that the over
land line of trade and travel between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, whenever IL may be resolved
a national work, must have ts best eastern
terminus practically at La Sale, wherever II may
suit politicians or men sectionaly interested (os-
tcnsby) TO 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, warehouses, hotel, &c. hav-
ing been recently constructed at La Sac the pro-
prietor now with great confidence presents ii 10 the
consideration Of Intelligent, practical men, who
may wish Immediately to engage in active bust
ness or make profitable investments in real estate
as afording more certain and greater advantages
than have been afforded since the commencement
Of this progressive century at any one point west
Of the Alleghanies.

diate improvements, before the day Of sale mon
