Tuesday's proceedings in the Union Congress saw Speaker Stanisław Małachowski express concerns over the lack of unanimous agreement on the proposal addressed to the Nation despite collective efforts and numerous perceptive observations. With today's session planned to begin discussions on the Clergy - one of the Union's most debated groups recently - Secretary Jan Łuszczewski commenced reading the project.

The urgent voice of Senator Jacek Jezierski was heard, proclaiming that the discourse should not move onto another topic before concluding the pending project, particularly noting the addition proposed by the Representative from Podlasie concerning 25 manors squandered by the Standing Council. Elaborating further, Speaker Małachowski agreed to incorporate this addition, thus obliging Congress to decide upon both the unfinished project and the noted insertion.

When Secretary Łuszczewski began to read the introduced proposal, the quest for clarity and proper debate was echoed by multiple Representatives, with Stanisław Potocki from Lublin advocating proposals to reward the diligent labor of Secretary Łuszczewski throughout this lengthy Congress session. After several discussions, the body agreed to deliberate further according to their established law.

Moving back to the proposed addition by the Representative from Troki, calls were made for immediate consideration and printing due to its substantial alterations and the need for deeper scrutiny. Further contributions came from Representative Mateusz Butrymowicz from Pińsk, underscoring various methods by which the Union's revenue is diminished and the necessity to address them promptly.

The matter of asset liquidation of the Krakow bishopric was raised urgently by Representative Jan Jordan from Krakow, as the auction dates are rapidly approaching, and the decision on the Clergy needs to be finalized before any further sessions can take place.

During the session, a proposal titled "The Clergy of Both Rites in the Polish-Ukrainian and Lithuanian-Belarussian Provinces" was discussed, concerning the division of dioceses and their governance. The topic of whether bishoprics should be apportioned upon vacancies or the reassignment of dioceses also surfaced, leading to multiple stances and counter-proposals.

Debates flared over economic interests, the allocation of diocesan revenue in cash versus landholdings, and the independence of specific regions such as the Siewierz Duchy. Despite the diverging views, there was a broad consensus that the clergy's income should be settled securely in lands rather than fluctuating based on monetary compensation.

After numerous statements, counter-propositions, and discussions validating the need for better management of clergy income, Congress gradually came to an agreement, acknowledging the vital necessity of dividing overly extended dioceses. The session drew to a close with unresolved economic issues surrounding the exact terms of how revenue from agreed-upon lands would be managed, resulting in an adjournment and anticipation for Wednesday's session to tackle these pressing matters.
