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 henceiorward 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, nj 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 Natagorda, where
vessels drawing 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 10 hydro
graphical and typographical examinations OF the
Gulf of Mexico, (and more 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 Advantage for concentra-
ton OF the principal trade OF the Gulf
II is not deemed necessary 10 speak at large OF
the peculiar convenienccs and advantages oil the
position OF La Sale. slight glance at the map
(taken in connection with the fact that il presents
the best entrance and anchorage TO be found for
many hundred miles on that part ofthe Gulf,) will
show concusiyely to intelligent men that 1t 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, as 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 century past has gone TO
these regions by way OF Santa Fe, is taking the
route by way of the bay Of Natagords From this
bay to the city of Chihuahua, the distance is less
than from Santa Fe. No question IL therefore en-
tertained that nine tents of what has been hereto
fore called the Santa Fc trade will, after the pres-
cnt year, take its by La Sale from all the
eastern m not also the western) cities of the Union
IL may ALEC be looked upon an adjudicated fact
by the common Of the world, that the over
land line Of trade and trnvcl between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, whenever il may be resolved
on as a national work, must have its best eastern
terminus practically at La Sac, wherever il may
suit politicians sccuonally interested (os-
tensibly) 20 fix il. IL will certainly be the point Of
embarcation for the principal emigration from Eu-
rope 90 the State Of Texas.

ing been recently constructed at La Salle the pro-
prictor with great confidence presents IL to the
