AL VEILLARD AND nut HON. P. CADOOAN.

The following letter from the Hon. F. Cadogan
appears in the Times of this morning :
Sir,—l returned this morning from Switzerland, where
I have passed the last fortnight, unfortunately out of reach
of totters and papers. I have therefore only just seen
your =mad= of the 18th, wherein you allude to my coo-
maim with M. Veillard in the refreshment department of
the International Exhibition. I trust that it is not too
Ist* to furnish you with the following mplanation.
My position towards M. Veillard was strictly defined by
an agreement drawn by my family solicitors, Heger'. Flad-
gats and Co., which agreement was further settled by
counsel, for the double purpose of securing me wind the
risks of M. Veillard's engagements as also against any
possible imputation of hiving made an agreement which
oould offend against public policy in principle or detail.
The existence of this agreement was well k 00111), not only
to the executive, by whom my position woe fully recogniss4
but also by mod of them gentlemen who, I regret to =Fs
are now the largest creditors of the estate, and who form
the committee of impaction for winding up the affairs.
Tbs payment I received wider the above agreement was
in consideration of services rondored for wow more than
twelve months to M. Veillard, in coeducting for him the
negotiations with capitalists sled others incidental to the
undertaking, preparing his Maims, procuring a large por-
tion of the capital, superintending all the construction
and legal arrangements, and, above all, in being the in-
termediary bites= the executive of the Exhibition
and M. Vailhnl in all the endless questioos of detail
and ensnagommit, which it was manifestly impossible
foe a foreigner to bays personally conducted. Her
Majesty's Commissioners, and moat of M. Veillard's prim-
, cipal creditors and supporters, can Lear wituess to the
number and importance of those arrangements, which for
nearly four months required, not only daily, bat constant
attendance upon the commissioners and their officers. I
have received 2,4C01., wbicb was paid to me by the daily
reoeipt al one-eighth of a peony per bead for each visitor to
the Exhibition. On the other hand, a kegs portico of this
amount was lost by me to M. Veillard, who still owes ma
a balance of WM. on this loan account. lam further
personally liable for 1,5001. advanced to him upon
my private security. l is Dot for me to decide whether
the services rendered, nd the reepossibilities incurred,
have bass over remunerated by the balance ramie*"
in my favour. The sole purpose of this statement
to reply to your =total question as to my eta-
nexion with M. Vsillard's contract, and to refute as
cruel and libellous attacks of which, in my absence, I have
been made the object by some of the press sad its owe-
stoodeots, by whom it is iodinated that I need undue in-
fluence to obtain the contract for Y. Valierd, and that I
put forward a man of straw in order to victimise his crab-
tom to my sole profit. All the negotiations that took place
with her Maj's Commissioners on behalf of M. Veillard
were conducted esty by me. solely with those gentlemen in their
official capacity. It amounts to an insult to them that I
shouldathe required to easert that on no emteidow, either by
word or by implication, did I receive any preference or ad-
vantage over the other parties tendering for this contract.
"My previous knowledge of M. Veillard, confirmed by
the result of the inquiries I made hers and is France,
satisfied me that his aatecedeeta ware those of an honour-
able man, fully able to conduct the department in ques-
tion, with whom I could safely and creditably eater into the
arrangement already named. I left it to her Majesty's Com-
missioners to form their opinion of his credit and capabili-
ties through their own private channels of inquiry.
"The result of those inquiries and the ransom for his
tender being socepied are stated by her Majesty's Com-
missioners in your impression of the 18th.
" To the unexpected detention in Scotland of the gentle-
man who, oogniaant of this business in all its details, would
have represented me at the meeting of M. Veillard's CTIF
dams, during my unavoidable absence on the Continent, fa,
I trod, to be attributed the unfounded and scandalous state-
ments that bees been coupled with my name.
" I am, sir, your very obedient servant,
