This Friday, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, the Speaker of the House, commenced the session with an impactful speech highlighting the pride and duty of citizenship. He noted that the foreign affairs committee had energetically fulfilled its duties and was now being recognized for its efforts by other European courts. "Fellow Representatives," he stated, "you will learn of both the committee’s contributions and the fruits of your own resolutions. Foreign powers now hold The Union in higher regard, considering its existence in Europe more significant than before."

Father Maciej Garnysz, Under Secretary of State for Poland-Ukraine, on behalf of the foreign affairs committee, requested a respectful hearing of their report and a customary recess.

Further, Mr. Michał Mniszech, The Polish-Ukrainian Grand Marshal, invited the distinguished spectators for a recess which was utilized for a four-hour discussion on foreign affairs matters.

After the recess, Prince Adam Czartoryski, Representative from Lublin, demanded the reading and decision on the Draft formulated by the Committee for establishing conditions serving legislative proceedings.

The President expressed a desire not to begin new discussions due to the late hour, acknowledging the Representatives' interests in observing St. John's festivities and asking Speaker Mr. Stanisław Małachowski to clarify how long the Congress wished to postpone next sessions.

The Speaker, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, mentioned a proposal for adjournment until July 12 and instructed Secretary Jan Łuszczewski to read out the requested draft.

Following the reading of the “Conditions for Regular Congress Proceedings,” Mr. Michał Czacki, Representative from Chernihiv, expressed reluctance to adjourn until July 13, favoring a shorter two-week recess instead.

Mr. Seweryn Potocki, Representative from Braclaw, though not keen on prolonging the session, conceded the need for an adjournment with conditions.

With deliberations on the conditions and adjournment dates continuing, Mr. Jan Suchorzewski from Kalisz and others debated the nuances of the proposed terms, showcasing differing opinions within the Representatives.

Eventually, discussion led to agreement on postponing the session and further examining the conditions for upcoming legislative work. President Stanisław August Poniatowski cautioned against creating permanent laws from current resolutions, advocating for flexibility.

The session was filled with declarations, suggestions, and debates from various Representatives, including Mr. Wojciech Świętosławski from Volhynia and Mr. Stanisław Kublicki from Latvia, all aiming to find a balance between legislative efficiency and personal commitments.

In the end, after substantial discussion and despite differing views on the appropriate length of the adjournment, the session was finally suspended by Father Maciej Garnysz, Under Secretary of State for Poland-Ukraine, following the will of the President.

There you have it, folks. It's been a marathon of passionate debate and political maneuvering. Our elected officials, juggling national duty and provincial concerns, work to find common ground amid a complex political landscape. As the session adjourns, anticipation builds for what developments the next meeting will bring in the name of The Union.
