BOSTON GAZETTE, Jan. 26, 1815  Inside has a few items from the closing events of the War of 1812 including: "Chesapeake Squadron" "From Sacket's Harbour" "Of New Orleans" the latter including: "A rumor has been afloat all the morning of the fall of New Orleans. There is, I understand no foundation for the report...". Actually New Orleans fell on January 8.
