After the chamber was called to order by Speaker of the Congress Mr. Stanisław Małachowski...

Meeting attendees discussed the critical importance of strategic preparation before action, invoking a metaphor about machinery and arguing that without proper set up and readiness, no fruitful action can occur. In the realm of legislation, a bill may be conceived, but it cannot be enacted without the necessary groundwork.

Mr. Jacek Jezierski, a senator from the Łuków district, raised a point about accountability and the inadequacy of the Minister's actions. He emphasized that it wasn't the fault of the Minister but the system established by the Council which allowed such neglect to happen, pointing the blame at past lawmakers who prioritized financial gain over the welfare of the nation.

Mr. Jan Krasiński, a representative from the Podolski district and a respected member of Congress, highlighted the importance of serving justice and the homeland but criticized the transactional nature of parliamentary service, relating it to the financial currency of Rubles and German gold.

Mr. Jacek Jezierski continued by addressing the President, expressing his trust and allegiance but also his concerns about the future and the potential risks that come with blind loyalty. He emphasized the significance of protecting the nation and the monarchy by ensuring that lawmakers are vigilant and immune to corruption.

The discussion then turned toward the role of external influences, with Mr. Michał Czacki, representative from the Czernihów district, demanding harsher penalties for those who fail to prevent foreign incursions into national boundaries. Speaker Małachowski requested to allow the completion of the reading of a bill before proceeding with the amendments and discussions.

Mr. Józef Mierzejewski, a representative from Podolia, suggested that equal penalties should be assigned for both the withdrawal of national army forces beyond national borders and for the failure to prevent enemy forces from entering.

The concern was raised that the citizens look towards the Congress for decisions that will impact the safety and wellbeing of the nation, especially in times of internal strife and foreign pressure. After the proposals and the debate, the deliberation was postponed until the next day by the calling of the Ministerium to the Throne.

The session continued the following day, with further discussions on military commissions, the regulation of warfare, and individual responsibilities of representatives to maintain national security and citizen welfare. The complexity and significance of these deliberations underscore an era marked by intricate power dynamics and the shaping of a nation's future.
