 By the arrival Of the steamship Mas sachusetis al New Orleans, on ite 29ih olt., we are in receipt of further advices from Vera Cruz. The Delta of the 30lh tit says: ," She brings papers from tha' city 10 the 23l; but from these, our cor. respondence, ncr any other source, can we ascertain lhat there has been, since our previous adyices, any later, more definite ol maller.of fact news iron Gen Scol;. Not glimpse does any thing brought by this arrival give US of he recent movements of the army. whether il b. of the division of either Gen Scoil or Gen Worth. This state of things k by no means favorable indication of ihe state of the public roads between Vera Cruz and he Army, If the gner r!llas weie not in considerable force along il, the inter elcomnunication would certainly be more frequent"
 We make the following extracts from ihe correspondent of lhe Delta:
