Today’s 100th session of Congress, presided over by Speaker Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, was especially eventful, demonstrating the complex interplay of domestic unity, diplomatic relations, and taxation matters within our Union.

The session saw heartfelt testimonials from officials like Michael Mniszech and Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, expressing unconditional support for the President and the Union’s welfare.

Amid the celebration of the President's name day tomorrow, the Congress reaffirmed respect and conceivably leveraged this ceremonial day to emphasize the ongoing efforts to guide the Union through trying times, particularly focusing on foreign policy matters which are becoming increasingly critical.

As the Union navigates intricate external relations, especially with Prussian and English counterparts, representatives displayed sagacity in discerning times when transparency is necessary and moments when discretion is paramount. The Congress’s grant of provisional powers to the diplomatic delegation illustrates our government’s adaptability and foresight in safeguarding the nation's integrity and security.

In honor of the President’s name day, extensive exchanges of gratification permeated the session; however, the pressing need to resolve taxation issues and internal order eclipsed the celebratory atmosphere, calling for vigilance and continuity in legislative action.

This, summed up with the recognition of leading figures such as Ignacy Potocki and Adam Czartoryski for their roles at the helm of foreign affairs, confirms the Union's commitment to both internal cohesiveness and strategic international presence.

The session ended with the adjournment to Monday, pausing the resolution of taxation concerns which are anticipated to play a crucial role in reinforcing the Union's defense and administrative structure.

In all, today’s session, while interlaced with the ceremonial gesture of honor towards the President, effectively underscored the ongoing responsiveness of our political landscape to the fluid exigencies of national and international politics.
