Speaker of Congress Stanisław Małachowski commenced the session with words reflecting on the favorable memories of times past (full speech on p. 128-128v).

Interior Secretary of Poland-Ukraine, Michał Mniszech, addressed the assembly, proclaiming the Senate and the Cabinet's profound sentiments of loyalty and devotion to the President, reminiscing that it has been 25 prosperous years since the Poland-Ukraine was blessed with his enlightened rule.

Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, Speaker of the Lithuanian-Belarusian confederation, articulated the prolonged discussions of the current Congress, now reaching the twelfth month. He highlighted the unity and loyalty owed to the President and added that certain anniversaries should be commemorated with acts that ensure the nation's fortune and the ruler’s glory. Prince Sapieha suggested that today's celebration should be marked by establishing a delegation to arrange a new model of government, one that will herald happiness for the nation and honor the President's reign.

The honorable Seweryn Potocki, Representative of Bracław, and Tadeusz Matuszewicz, Representative of Brześć, contributed to the discussion with insightful commentary.

Secretary Jan Łuszczewski read the project proposal to establish a delegation to negotiate the form of government.

Speaker Stanisław Małachowski asked for approval on the project, which was unanimously granted.

The President, in a speech addressed to the attending officials, emphasized the importance of the current Congress marking a remarkable moment to celebrate his Presidency and the strides the Union has made under his administration.

Speaker Stanisław Małachowski then invited chosen officials to comprise the delegation tasked with drafting the new form of government, including representatives from East and West Poland-Ukraine, Lithuania-Belarus, and Latvia.

Interior Secretary Michał Mniszech presented a case necessitating the resolution of the Assembly, involving Senator Franciszek Żeleński's need to fulfill an oath in Kraków versus his duties at the current proceedings. A consensus allowed him to take the oath at the Warsaw Castle's Chancellery instead.

With tomorrow being a holiday, the next session was scheduled for the following Thursday.

Ministerial officials proceeded to the President to express their loyalty and gratitude.
