The Houses of Congress convened in the Senate House, where Speaker Mr. Stanisław Małachowski initiated a discussion on taxation matters which was interrupted due to a personnel matter. Mr. Jan Łuszczewski, secretary read a note from the Polish-Ukrainian Treasury Commission indicating that the public was complaining about unfair taxation by some estate owners, causing people to emigrate from the Union territories.

Representative Mr. Michał Czacki emphasized that mere warnings are not enough; penalties must be applied to those who exploit the tax system, to prevent further injustices and migration.

Representative Mr. Stanisław Kublicki reported abuses of peasants, causing distress and potentially leading to rebellion if stern measures aren't taken against such oppressive landowners.

Representative Mr. Julian Niemcewicz said that Congress should take protective actions over the people so that their hardship is mitigated by government oversight, proposing exemplary punishment of those diseobeying the laws.

Concerns from various regions, like Latvia, were voiced about the ongoing migration issues, and congressional representatives urged for actions to secure the wellbeing of citizens and prevent their departure.

In response, a proposal was read to instruct Civil-Military Commissions to investigate and order the return of funds taken improperly, to report cases of disobedience, and to implement suitable measures for the protection of the people.

The Cabinet Members and Congress discussed ways to regulate taxation and prevent further abuses, including delaying the redemption process of the Crown Treasury's claims on certain properties to allow for fair negotiations.

The representatives collectively recognized the need for immediate action to mitigate public grievances and alleviate the population's financial burden. This included initiatives to better verify tax records, review living conditions, and ensure that those responsible for injustices face appropriate consequences.

The session concluded with a consensus on the need to streamline government measures, and the Houses of Congress decided to adjourn until Thursday to address the compilation of various projects into a single piece of legislation and to give time to resolve matters concerning the delay of property auctions until more favorable conditions emerge.

Topics: Marshal of the Sejm; Crown Treasury Commission; population emigration; subjugation of peasantry; hearth tax assessment; legislative proposal; recommendations to the Civil and Military Commissions; penalties for offenders; military conscription; Apostolic Beneplacitum; auction of episcopal properties;
