The session began with Speaker Stanisław Małachowski.

As we progress with the Parliamentary matters, in accordance with both respect for the law and a desire to maintain order, we continue discussions about the military commission. This body, with its numerous articles, should be handled carefully to ensure efficient proceedings. Therefore, I propose to the august Houses of Congress that we consider the articles in parts to facilitate a thorough and decisive review of each aspect, awaiting their decision on this approach.

Senator Józef Ankwicz, the castellan of Nowy Sącz, addressed the gathering. He spoke of the compulsatory duty of the people to stand before their President after two years had elapsed, to look together at the domestic needs of the nation. The nation exemplifies a state awakened by the warning voice of danger. Like a startled nation, we too must take up arms, though guided largely by fervor rather than by judicious thought. Just as a watchful eye guides our actions, so too should prudence preserve our political body from hasty and impetuous actions.

Several representatives from regions such as West Poland, East Poland-Ukraine, and Lithuania-Belarus expressed a desire to build a powerful and cohesive military force to ensure national security. The people, including women and children, showed their willingness to sacrifice for the country, even donating weapons, clothes, and money to the cause.

The President assured that the unity between him and the nation is paramount for both contentment and collective strength. He highlighted the importance of constant government vigilance in maintaining the well-being of the nation.

The dispute over the formation of one military commission, as opposed to separate commissions for Poland-Ukraine and Lithuania-Belarus, was the focus of the session. Arguments centered on the importance of equal representation from both parts of the Union, with a key issue being the alternation of the commission's location between the two nations every few years to ensure fairness.

In conclusion, after extensive debate, the President adjourned the session till the next day, urging relevant officials and representatives to develop a proposal that would resolve the ongoing dispute and help advance the well-being and security of the nation.

Adjournment of Congress

In a recent update from the bustling chambers of Congress in The Union, a new act has been adopted which effectively extends the current session set initially for a six-week duration. Recognizing that the multitude of urgent needs facing our motherland cannot be suitably addressed in the originally allocated timeframe, the Congress, bound by the current confederation, has decided to prolong the session until December 15th. This extension, however, comes with the option for further delays and limitations as deemed necessary.
