In the recent session of Congress, Speaker of the House, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, initiated the session with the following remarks: "Fulfilling the service is all the easier when the path is clear, just as the Honourable Houses, whose diligent efforts in congress have not yet swiftly concluded due to certain impediments, expressed a desire yesterday to alleviate these by appointing Deputies tasked with facilitating the local congress project. It remains for the Deputies to decide on the full complement and selection today. Regarding the appointment of Treasury Commissioners, the Constitutional Deputation received a mandate in yesterday's session to consider whether absent members should be elected to this Deputation or only those present, as well as to determine the full complement for the newly elected Deputation." This announcement led Secretary Jan Łuszczewski to read the brief statement: "The Deputation's new members shall be selected from among those present." The discussion followed, some pressing for a decision regarding absent members, others concerned about setting the full complement.

Speaker Mr. Stanisław Małachowski clarified: "The Deputation is tasked with providing its thoughts on not electing absentees and on establishing the full complement for the new Deputation. It is better to fix the complement after the election of the Deputation, and to verbally commit, if so agreed upon, that absentees will not be elected."

Representative Mr. Pius Borejko from the Ukrainian region highlighted the urgency of deciding whether or not to elect absent members, as their potential selection could cause inaction and delay the proceedings of Congress.

Speaker Mr. Stanisław Małachowski reported that the print shop had not managed to produce the necessary Lists for today's session, potentially causing confusion if the usual voting lists, organized by states rather than provinces, were used instead. Therefore, with the permission of The President, he suggested suspending the session until the next day which, although usually a day of rest, should be devoted to the important election of the new Deputation.

Upon Speaker Małachowski's request, which the House endorsed, The President approached the Cabinet, and Secretary of Internal Affairs for Lithuania-Belarus, Mr. Ignacy Potocki, suspended the session until the following day, with the proceedings set to commence at 10 in the morning.
