Napoleon was defeated in early 1814 (Battle of Leipzig, 1813, invasion of
France 1814) - bringing to an end the War of the Sixth Coalition [I had no
idea that it was called this - I've just generally referred to the whole
thing as the Napoleonic Wars]
Napoleon abdicated on the 11th April 1814 - and was sent into exile.
[Of course, he soon escaped - and re-started the whole thing - but no one
knew this at the time. So there was indeed general rejoicing at the end of
more than a decade of European War]
Not sure about the rate of information transmission in the 19th Century -
would news from 11th April have made it to Canada by 21st of April?

Jim, I was wondering that myself when I wrote the post. Very curious.
My first thought was War of 1812, but you're right, it seems premature.
I took a look here and didn't see anything I'd think was a major victory
around April 21st:

Napoleon makes sense too. Hmm! If anyone discovers the answer I'd love to
know.

Napoleon. However, I notice it was in the middle of the War of 1812, which
suggested the British were celebrating a premature victory, since the war
lasted another year.
