Letters.

Representative Michał Walewski, a Senatorial state leader from Sieradz, discussed the necessity of storage for the National Cavalry, while presenting the benefits of contributions by the citizens, which wouldn't pose any inconvenience. He insisted on proceeding with the decision on his Project, as it's been printed and deliberated on for weeks. He continued by stating that the law established during the current Congress for current Provincial Commissioners should mandate their presence in meetings under the threat of loss of activity, yet some involved now face unanticipated Prosecutions. Hence, he proposed to declare such prosecutions null and void until November 7th.

Representative Michał Czacki from Chernihiv took the floor.

Likewise, at the end of his speech, he submitted a Project for consideration proposing military committee reforms, emphasizing the appointment of Major Generals should not proceed until regiments are complete.

Representative Mateusz Butrymowicz from Pinsk, following up on a previous anonymous citizen complaint about the Lidz County Commission, stressed the need for a directive for all Provincial Commissions. He drafted a proposal on the subject and submitted it.

Representative Ignacy Tymowski from Sieradz, adding to Walewski's second point, addressed the oppression of County Commissioners who, despite their non-discretionary attendance expectations, were unable to manage their private interests and were instead served with lawsuits. Thus, he proposed that all lawsuits received during their term in office should be declared null, and no commissioner can be legally pursued until the end of September.

Upon some calls for transitioning to material related to army staffing, Senator Walewski stated that Speaker Małachowski informed him of an upcoming Provincial Session at his residence, where Walewski's Project regarding cavalry storage would be discussed. Therefore, he requested to postpone further promotion of his project to Monday and urged a decision on his proposal.

Speaker Małachowski moved to convene a Provincial Session concerning Walewski’s proposal, inviting deputies to join on the upcoming Sunday. He then proceeded to read Tymowski’s project on Provincial Commissioners.

Representative Butrymowicz from Pinsk requested a decision on his directive, reiterating its content.

The Speaker replied that colleagues wanted to discuss it further.

Secretary Jan Łuszczewski read Tymowski's Project titled: Conditions for Provincial Commissioners.

Senator Jacek Jezierski from Łuków stated he would agree to the Project on the condition that it not interfere with litigation of debts due to obligations, as personal presence isn't usually necessary in such cases.

Representative Michał Radziszewski from Starodub also took the floor, pressing for consideration of Tymowski’s statement.

When Senator Ostrowski from Czersk requested a vote, Representative Zaleski from Trakai interrupted with an assertion: those who are paid by the Union should provide value, and it's paradoxical to pay someone for an office position if they do not execute the duties related to it.

After repeated speeches, the Speaker Małachowski announced that according to the proposals he had heard, he amended the project in hope of reaching consensus.

The session was adjourned until Monday. The missing speech of the Speaker is mentioned on page 656.

This abridged report from the Congress (Sejm) of The Union, in the style of an Ivy League undergraduate covering the proceedings, details the deliberations and various proposals submitted by the Representatives and Senators. Key issues discussed included the concerns over national cavalry storage needs, Provincial Commissioners’ duties versus legal challenges they face, the organization of the military committee, and budgetary appropriations for defense. The session concluded with several projects accepted for future voting and a call for a Provincial Session to address outstanding matters. The notion of efficient time management and prudence in government spending is raised, mirroring similar fiscal discussions seen in modern politics. Therefore, the report highlights the iterative process of law-making and the interplay between military, legislative, and economic concerns within the historic context of The Union.
