On June 5, the session was initiated by Speaker of the Congress (Sejm) Mr. Stanisław Małachowski. The President Mr. Stanisław August Poniatowski called his Cabinet to the podium and delivered a speech concerning recent propositions about taxing estates received through royal land grants (called "Kaduki"). The President explained that such estates were given primarily as rewards for service or to help those in need, and as such, it would be unjust and possibly dangerous to implement retroactive taxation on them. He also clarified the strict vetting process for granting these estates and his efforts to minimize the potential for abuse.

Following the President's remarks, representatives engaged in debates regarding various issues. These included the proposal to appoint an undersecretary of treasury, Mr. Szczęsny Potocki, as the minister to Russia, given his prior withdrawal from the post, as well as measures on improving postal security and the pricing of postal services.

Additionally, significant discussions took place about the need for a rigorous legal system that ensures citizens could not be punished without adequate due process. There were calls to establish a court to judge the actions of the former Speaker of the 1775 Congress, Mr. Adam Poniński, accused of multiple offenses against the nation, including seeking foreign intervention and financial deals at the nation's expense. The consensus was to follow due process and establish a court to deliver a fair verdict before enforcing any detention or sanctions.

Efforts were made to distinguish between people with the same last name to ensure that any punitive actions were directed only at the guilty parties and that the innocent family members or individuals with the same surname were not unfairly maligned or punished.

The session concluded with an agreement on how to proceed with setting up a trial for Mr. Poniński, and to reassess the situation of the Polish-Lithuanian military integration. The session was adjourned until the following Monday, June 8, at 10 AM.

Elsewhere, the report discussed a variety of international developments, including news about the Ottoman Empire's preparations for war, the Swedish envoy's activities in The Hague, and updates from France regarding the upcoming Estates-General.

The report underscores the complexity of the debates and the challenges faced in ensuring justice and managing international relations during that period.
