(Received 11.55 a.m.) Egypt, December 22. Official.—We occupied El Airish after it had been two years in the enemy’s hands.' The enemy intended to put up a stubborn resistance and constructed strong trenches at a position near Masaid, covering El Airish, but the rapidity of our advance completely upset their calculations and forestalled the arrival of enemy reinforcements. The enemy abandoned their position on the night of the 19tb, and retreated east and south-east. ,
