A Dangerous Position. A correspondent of a late Paris paper, writing from Lyons, states that the village of Flisberg, in the canton of the Grisons, Switzerland, is threatened with being buried under a mass of rocks, which is breaking away from the mountain. The iron wires which were placed across to measure the width of the fissures are all broken.—Every day parts of the rock become detached. In this frightful position a majority of the inhabitants have decreed, in a town meeting, on emigration to the territory of the city of Coira, although the conditions on which they are allowed to do so are far from acceptable.
