In today's session, led off by Speaker Stanisław Małachowski of the Polish-Ukrainian confederation, Secretary of the Congress Jan Łuszczewski read proposals from the Constitutional Delegation. These proposals included reforms suggested by the Polish-Ukrainian Treasury Commission about the reduction of foreign coinage and the issuance of extra gold so that the Prussian coins would retain their value of five złotys, as was the custom before as well as accept additional 95% premiums.

During the reading of these proposals, a number of members of the House of Representatives voiced their desire to adopt the Treasury Commission's draft instead, insisting that Prussian two-złoty coins maintain their value without reduction, while other Prussian coins should be accepted according to the announced convertibility and reduction.

Some Representatives disagreed with this proposal, showing a preference instead for the Constitutional Delegation's project. Consequently, a motion was put to a vote: "Should the project presented by the Constitutional Delegation be adopted? Or should the project formulated by the Examining Delegation of the Treasury of The Union be adopted?"

Upon conclusion of the vote, it was announced: 130 votes favored the project presented by the Constitutional Delegation, and 25 votes favored the project by the Examining Delegation of the Treasury. In a secret ballot, 108 votes were cast in favor of the Constitutional Delegation's project, and 20 in favor of the Examining Delegation's project.

The session was adjourned to resume on Thursday, September 29, at 10:00 AM.

The decisions on the above-discussed matters were incorporated into the Constitution in the following terms:

The President, in agreement with the Houses of Congress, alters the initial directive from the Treasury Commission dated July 26 of this year, which mandated the reduction of foreign currency, in the following manner: maintaining the full reduction of coins according to the Commission's directives, especially the collection of said coins for the Treasury until the current rate is completely collected, that is until September 15 of this year, based on their previous value before reduction. After this period, all foreign coins, both in public taxes and elsewhere, will conform to the reduction rates established in the Commission's directives, until the Treasury Commission provides changes to the currency rate. The export of any foreign coins from The Union’s lands is permitted without hindrance. The second decree from the Commission dated August 16 concerning the issuance of all gold coins is repealed; meanwhile, previous legal prohibitions regarding the clipping of gold and restrictions against its issuance are reaffirmed. We entrust the Marshals of the Confederation of The Union to ensure that our will is enforced throughout the country.

Distribution of City Delegates to Government Administrations for Provincial Sessions as Stipulated by Law

Today I'm breaking down the latest scoop from the Congress on how specific cities from the Union's provinces will now send designated reps to various departments of The Cabinet. This is like those town hall meetings where select locals get tapped to rep their towns, only on a national level.

From East Poland-Ukraine, we've got key players heading to the National Police Commission like Józef Jagielski rocking it for Krakow, and Iwo Stecki pulling rank from the State of Łuck. Over at the Polish-Ukrainian Treasury Commission, we see Michal Gautier taking point for Lublin, while Kajetan Jedlecki, a legit civilian-military commission regent, reps the Winnicki County.

Next, the Crown Assessor's office is getting folks like Szymon Sapalski from Sandomierz and Jan Lewandowski straight outta the Żytomierz County. Grzegorz Czaykowski, a legal eagle from Kamieniec Podolski, and Paweł Szumowicz, a city council bigwig from Kleszczele, are also on the roster.

West Poland is making its own moves with Józef Wybicki, the king's right-hand man, handling business for Poznań and Antoine Chevalier, Warsaw's city councilor, stepping up for, well, Warsaw. The Treasury Commission is scooping up masterminds like Aleksy Dembowski and Maciej Łyszkiewicz from Łęczyca and Płock, respectively.

They've even got a power player from Kalisz, Paweł Grochalski, as their syndic, and Wojciech Chęciński is set to speak for Gniezno in the Assessor's office. Oh, and Wielun—small but mighty—now has a seat at the big kids' table with Walenty Kochelski as prez.

Lithuania-Belarus isn't lounging around either. Their law enforcement got an upgrade with Józef Fergis from the State of Kowno and Józef Żyliński, president of Grodno. On the money side, Daniel Paszkiewicz and Jan Henzel are flexing for Vilnius and Nowogródek for the Lithuanian-Belarussian Treasury Commission.

Their Assessor's team is no joke with voices like Jan Romanowski from Brześć, Teodorowicz penning it down for Pinsk, and Tarankiewicz advocating for Mińsk.

Lastly, little Rosienie in the Duchy of Żmudź just snagged a primo delegate spot. Talk about unexpected underdog wins!

That's the latest from Capitol Hill, where power moves are just part of the daily grind.
