In the latest session, Speaker Mr. Stanisław Małachowski addressed the House, indicating that as the Congress approaches the duty of imposing taxes on the clergy, he expects them, as always, to be eager to contribute to their homeland. The reading of the tax project continued, but Senator Bishop Józef Rybiński from the Kujawy region urged The President and the assembled Houses to immediately dispatch envoys to Sweden, Denmark, and Saxony in light of Sweden's expressed desire to ally with Poland for mutual defense.

Voices including Secretary of Defense Mr. Michał Ogiński from Lithuania-Belarus and several Representatives discussed potential envoys to these nations, with suggestions for Mr. Jan Małachowski to Saxony and Adam Rzewuski to Sweden and Denmark. The Speaker announced that The President gave preliminary approval for the nominated envoys but is waiting for certain circumstances to be resolved.

Senator Mr. Jacek Jezierski from Łuków commented on the need for true defenders of the homeland, not just orators, highlighting the discrepancy between the actions of previous years and the current situation where Russian presence is the only military force of concern in Polish-Ukrainian territories. He emphasized the need for accountability of those who behaved poorly in previous years.

While discussing new tax proposals and government reforms, Representative Mr. Marcin Ledóchowski from the Wizna region addressed the payment obligations of leased estates. Other Representatives from Wilno (now Vilnius) and Kraków raised the issue of the need for audits upon the accession of a new Emissary Proprietor, although many objected to the proposal.

Finally, Representative Mr. Fryderyk Moszyński from Bracław gave a comprehensive speech on taxation, after which Under Secretary of State for Poland-Ukraine Mr. Maciej Garnysz reported on correspondences from previously dispatched envoys. The session was adjourned and scheduled to resume tomorrow at 10 am.

The Union Congress continues to deliberate on significant matters such as taxation, foreign alliances, and defense concerns. Representatives are actively engaging in developing new projects to address the pressing needs of the military while dealing with internal politics and accountability.
