February 25, 1815
NILES' WEEKLY REGISTER, Baltimore, Feb. 25, 1815  Pages 2 & 3 contain the: "President's Message" to Congress announcing the end of the War of 1812, beginning: "I lay before congress copies of the treaty of peace & amity between the United States & his Britannic majesty, which was signed by the commissioners of both parties at Ghent, on the 24th of December, 1814..." signed in type: James Madison.
This is followed by a great letter headed: "Further from New Orleans" prefaced with: "Address directed by major general Jackson to be read at the head of each of the corps composing the line below New Orleans, Jan. 21, 1815" and beginning: "Citizens and fellow soldiers! The enemy has retreated and your general has now leisure to proclaim to the world what he has noticed with admiration and price--your undaunted courage, your patriotism & patience under hardships and fatigues..." with much more. This is followed by: "General Orders" which related to the end of the war, taking over a full page.
There is also a letter from New Orleans written at the very beginning of the Battle of New Orleans, and then some four pages headed: "Events of the War" with much news.
Sixteen pages, 6 by 9 1/2 inches, some lite scattered foxing, otherwise in good condition.

As noted in Wikipedia, this title: "...(was) one of the most widely-circulated magazines in the United States...Devoted primarily to politics...considered an important source for the history of the period."
