Speaker of the House, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, initiated the session by discussing the need for efficient utilization of sharpshooters and light cavalry to ensure military preparedness at the frontiers. He mentioned the upcoming submission of a new governmental framework, which the Delegation assured is well-prepared.

The House of Representatives read a draft concerning the sharpshooters, detailing the establishment of a marksman company, presented by Secretary Mr. Jan Łuszczewski.

Representative from West Poland (Poznan), Mr. Augustyn Gorzeński, advised emulating Prussian military spending efficiency, which prompted an alternative draft read again by Mr. Łuszczewski, suggesting the inclusion of 15 sharpshooters and one non-commissioned officer per infantry company, with the same pay as the artillery corps.

Mr. Wojciech Świętosławski, from the Volhynia region, supported the sharpshooter proposal yet objected to expenditures on light cavalry, skeptical of their benefits for national service over private usage by commanding officers.

Senator from Łuków, Mr. Jacek Jezierski, shared similar sentiments towards the light cavalry but recommended recruiting impoverished nobility for the sharpshooters. He emphasized the importance of utilizing local manufacturers for military supply to encourage economic development.

The discussion on sharpshooters continued, with various representatives debating their scope and recruitment methods, calling for investment in domestic industry rather than relying on external supplies.

The Secretary of Treasury for the Poland-Ukraine region, Mr. Roch Kossowski, reported on the budgetary balance considering the new tax regulations and expenditures, with figures for debate.

Proposals regarding the installation of a small number of light cavalry for each commanding general faced opposition, emphasizing that infantry rather than cavalry was required.

The day closed with readings on clerical appointments within the Eastern Church, considerations about developing domestic industries, and seeking further discussions on various proposals.

Next session is scheduled for Friday, July 23, 1790.

Recommendation of the Polish-Ukrainian Treasury Commission

In today's meeting, Congress got wind of some crucial financial news. The citizens in the capital, Warsaw, at their State Congress held in City Hall, graciously voted to donate a special tax to our national Treasury. But hold your horses – a twist in the tale! The Treasury Commission has reported that there's a bunch of folks – property owners and residents – now clamoring for a tax refund. So what's the plan? The House is tasking the Treasury Commission to issue refunds to anyone pushing for it, as long as they can show a receipt for their original contribution. Generosity, it seems, comes with a bit of backsies.

Topics: Crown Treasury Commission; proportional tax; city of Warsaw; tax refund; resolution; town hall session;

Recommendation of the Polish-Ukrainian Treasury Commission

In a noteworthy session, the Polish-Ukrainian Treasury Commission has made a major move towards fiscal sustainability. They've designated three villages across the Przemsza river, which have traditionally belonged to the Krakow bishopric, as a permanent endowment generating a whopping hundred-thousand in revenue for the Krakow Bishops—a fiscal high-five for the clergy. Plus, in a twist of estate management, they're leasing out properties reclaimed by the Treasury for 13,500 złotys to the current nominal Prince, with an orderly inventory and regular payments to the coffers, for his lifetime. Talk about tenure!

Topics: Crown Treasury Commission; perpetual fund; bishops' revenues; villages across the Przemsza river; episcopal rights; treasury estates; financial sum; inventory; treasury payment; Prince-Bishops of Krakow;

Recommendation for the Deputies to Examine the Treasuries of Both Nations

The clock's ticking as the deadline for biennial treasury accounts and the appointment of new commissioners draws near. So, it's official: Mister President and the unified Houses of Congress have decided to task the initially appointed deputies to finish their homework by August 20th this year. They'll delve into the intricacies of the past two years' spending, from September 1st, 1788, to that same day in 1790, and report back to President Stanisław August Poniatowski and Congress by the end of October. Plus, if there's an urgent need to update Congress sooner, the deputies have the green light to do so without waiting for the full report.

Topics: examination of national treasuries; treasury commissioners; new commissioners; expenses; financial reports; deputations; deadlines and dates; rights and duties; reporting; competencies of deputations;
