La Salle's expedition came ashore in Matagorda Bay on the Texas coast, but his original goal was to what?

A:     La Salle sailed from Rochefort, France to seek the mouth of the Mississippi River by sea planning to establish a colony, sixty leagues up the river as a base for striking Mexico, afflicting Spanish shipping and blocking English expansion while providing a warm water port for the Mississippi valley fur trade.
