Most of page 2 is taken up with charges on the: "British Naval Force" noting the various stations, the ships, their guns, and commanders. Also: "Attack On Lewistown. Page 3 has: "Latest From Lewis" "Blockading Squadron" "Chesapeake Blockading Squadron" "North-Western Army" "Chesapeake Frigate Arrived" with more war news on the back page.

This is a fascinating, short-lived newspaper, having begun in 1812 with the exclusive purpose of reporting on the War of 1812 (hence the title). When the war ended, so did this newspaper.
