TREATY OF PEACE.
From WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.

We have the pleasure to announce that the TREATY OF PEACE between the U. States and Great Britain, as signed by all the commissioners of both parties at Ghent, on the 24th Dec. 1814, was last evening delivered by Mr. Carroll to the Secretary of State, who immediately submitted it to the President. The general principle of the Treaty, is a restitution and recognition of the rights and possession of each party, as they stood before the war; with adequate provisions to settle all the disputed points of boundary, by Commissioners, subject to the decision of an amicable sovereign, in case the Commissioners do not agree in opinion. The title to the Islands in the bay of Passamaquoddy being controverted, the possession will remain with the parties respectively, which now hold them, until the Commissioners decide upon the title, but without prejudice to the claim of either party. Periods are fixed for the restitution of maritime captures in different latitudes; and hostilities are to cease as soon as the ratifications of the treaty are exchanged at Washington. It is understood that Mr. Baker is the bearer of the treaty ratified by the Prince Regent; and will be ready to exchange the ratifications when the President and the Senate have passed upon the subject. We are happy to add that the treaty is thought in all respects to be honorable to the nation, and to the negotiators. The President will, probably, lay it before the Senate this day.-Nat. Intel.

Cessation of Hostilities.

To the politeness of Lt. Col. UPHAM, we are indebted for a copy of the following circular from the war department, to all the commanding officers of Posts in the United States, which leaves no doubt that the TREATY OF PEACE IS RATIFIED before this.
