VOA Special English -  the message reached ,but it was later for two weeks

All we know that there was a war between USA and Britain in 1814 . The leaders of two countries agreed that they would stop the war. On the day before Christmas, eighteen fourteen, the United States and Britain signed a simple treaty. In it, each side agreed to stop fighting. They agreed to settle all their differences at future negotiations.
But in another place the armies of two conutries were preparing a new war.They did not get any messages from the leaders .
The British finally retreated. They left behind more than two thousand dead and wounded. Five hundred other British soldiers had been captured. Thirteen Americans were killed. It was a great victory for the United States, but one that was not necessary. The war had ended, by treaty, two weeks earlier.

the message was later for two weeks, but more than two thousand lives lost.
