Would the French invasion of Britain in 1759 put a Stuart on the Throne?

I heard the French tried to gather Jacobite support in the British Isles particularly the Scottish Highlands for the French Invasion of the British Isles in 1759 during the Seven Years War to get Britain out of the Seven Years War.

I also heard the Jacobite movement was pretty much in permanent decline after the Forty Five Rebellion and the Battle of Culloden. In 1759 the French leaders tried to arrange a secret meeting in February 1759 but the meeting didn't went because the Jacobite pretender Charles Edward Stuart showed up late, drunk, and unprepared for the meeting and after that the French tried to recruit Jacobite supporters without involving Charles Edward Stuart directly in the operation because Charles Edward Stuart was considered a "potential liability".

How likely is a French invasion of the British Isles in 1759?

If the French invaded the British Isles in 1759 would they restore the Stuarts on the throne?

If the Jacobites succeed and the Stuarts are restored would Great Britain go back to Catholicism?

If the French invaded the British Isles in 1759 what would of happened to the British colonies?
