Today at the Congress, we witnessed a lively discussion as our representatives delved into the critical issues facing our young republic.

The day's session, led by Speaker Stanisław Małachowski, began with the emotionally charged congratulations by Michael Mniszech, the Secretary of the Interior for Poland-Ukraine. The full text of his speech commended the integrity and sincerity of the Speaker's character.

Representative Mateusz Butrymowicz from Pinsk called for a description of the previous day's celebrations honoring Speaker Małachowski to be printed in the newspaper to share the joy and festivities with all. The request was enthusiastically agreed upon by the House.

Senator Piotr Ożarowski from Wojnicz proposed a draft titled "Commissioning the Military Commission of Both Nations," which was read to the assembly.

Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, Speaker of the Lithuanian-Belarusian Confederation, addressed concerns about the national cavalry recruitment, emphasizing fairness in pay. He pointed out inconsistencies in the compensation for certain regiments, urging for an equitable solution.

Meanwhile, Representative Stanisław Potocki from Lublin argued for fair treatment of dragon dragoon regiments, which faced considerable recruitment challenges. He suggested that the States allow either the recruitment of worthy companions or the addition of two more individuals per companion to remedy the issue. Potocki's request highlighted the pressing need to address the unequal distribution of military pay.

Defense-related discussions continued with Kazimierz Rzewuski from Podolia suggesting that the forthcoming military budget would resolve many outstanding issues, including recruitment challenges facing Forward Regiments. His pragmatic approach appealed to the common sense of Congress, promoting efficiency and military readiness without overburdening the budget.

Prince Stanisław Jabłonowski from Volhynia supported Potocki's initiative, emphasizing the urgency of deciding on the matter to avoid hindering the recruitment of commanders.

The debates displayed a deep engagement with "people's politics," as representatives wrestled with balancing military demands and financial constraints.

Our attention was then drawn to a matter of transportation. The President might be allowing transit passage through Polish territory at the request of Otto Stackelberg, raising concerns about maintaining neutrality, especially if armaments were being transported.

As the session adjourned, we look forward to further engaging discourse. Stay tuned for the latest updates from Congress as our representatives navigate the complexities of forming a stable and prosperous union.
