The battle of New Orleans was fought after the treaty was signed, since news traveled very slowly during that period of time. There were no telephone lines or even telegraph lines. By the time the news crossed the ocean and got to New Orleans the battle was already fought.

∙ 11y agoYes. The Treaty of Ghent (ending the War of 1812) was signed on December 24, 1814, and the battles around New Orleans took place between December 23, 1814 and January 8, 1815. But there was no way for the commanders to know this, communications being entirely by ship in that era. It was not until February 16, 1815 that the completed treaty was received in Washington and ratified by the Senate.
Although the British might have been compelled by treaty to return New Orleans if they had captured it, they might also have seriously impacted the operations of the port, as well as trade along the river during their occupation.
