The session began with an address by Speaker Stanisław Małachowski

Speaker Małachowski's speech is noted on pages 549-549v.

Stanisław Kublicki requested a decision on his proposal regarding the annulment of the 1778 Constitution that applied to Jan Komarzewski. Upon the recommendation of Speaker Stanisław Małachowski, Secretary Jan Łuszczewski read the proposal.

Senator Jacek Jezierski from Łuków opposed it, citing fiscal concerns and savings of 6000 złotys.

Speaker Małachowski argued that, since the addition relates to Lithuania-Belarus, and the region unanimously accepts it, there is no reason for opposition from the senator.

Jezierski responded, quoting the centuries-old union between Poland and Lithuania, arguing that, despite being part of different states, he has the right to oppose since they are one body, one Republic.

In defense of the budget amendment for a general positioned at the side of The President Stanisław August Poniatowski, several representatives including Senator Michał Walewski from Sieradz highlighted the general's ongoing work and noted that as a servant of both nations, he should be compensated by both.

Ultimately, the Congress decided, with a majority of affirmative votes, that the 6000 złoty pension should be attached to the rank of the general serving at the President's side.

The session continued with the nomination and support of various military figures for higher ranks, including General Tadeusz Kościuszko. Additionally, the Congress heard a plea for the recognition of General Szymon Zabiełło based on his service and rank as a brigadier-general.

Concern was raised over the economic repercussions of restricting the export of goods, particularly grain, to foreign markets. Members debated whether safeguarding public health, by preventing the spread of disease through quarantine measures at borders, justified the economic loss from the halted exports.

Speaker Małachowski assured that the matter would be addressed, emphasizing that while public health measures are crucial, so too is the support of the national economy. The session concluded with the recognition that the welfare of the Union relies on a balance between protecting citizens' well-being and maintaining a healthy trade environment.

The Congress further emphasized the importance of free speech in representing the interests and honoring the commitment of Union officials.

As these extensive discussions continued, it became clear that the Congress was dedicated to upholding the Union's economic strengths while carefully considering the adverse effects of any potential legislation.
