THE undersigned with the view of supplying a
want that has been long felt by (he importers
«f goods in Mexico, have established a line ot pack-
ets to run regularly and without delay between J\ew
Orleans and Brasos Santiago. 1 he vessels are all ol
the first class, fast sailors, and of light draft,—and
commanded by experienced seamen familiar with the
gulf trade and the bars of the harbors in this vicinity.
For the better protection of property we are now
erecting at Brasos Island, at a safe arid convinient
distance from the beach, a large and commodious
warehouse, into which the vessels will discharge
their cargoes immediately upon their arrival In ad-
dition toother manifest advantages thai importers
will derive in bestowing their patronage on the above 1
mentioned vessels, we have to offer this important j ^ limited prices
inducement: that we will receive, store and forward
merchandise without charge, other than the actual'
expense of labor paid by'us in receiving from the
beach into the warehouses.
Business consigned to our care will receive our
best personal attention.
