THE INVASION OF ENGLAND.
♦ — «* — ■A FRENCH OFFICER'S * OPIIUOWS. . Lieutensnt-Oolonel Deiaunay, of the French Army, writes with the frankness of a soldier io an articla cpntri'buted by Item to the "Vie Illustre" on the subject of a possible landing on the English coast. The gallant ccJonel not only believes that an invasion of England by the French Army is possible, but he regards it «3 asimple and easy operation, and confesses himself confident of the result on the day that the naval forces of France try conclusions 'with the British; Navy. It gives him, he says, immense satisfaction to know that he^ is not the only one of thi? -way of thinking, and to remembar that when 'Vice- Admiral Gervais bade farewell to the men who had taken part in the recent Mediterranean manoeuvres be closed with the significant remark, "We Have every reason to be hopeful." Lieutenant-Colonel Deiaunay evidently entertains a poor opinion of the British fleet, and he has no doubt whatever as to the success of a conflict with England.
