Amidst spirited debates, Speaker Stanisław Małachowski opened today's session by continuing discussions on the ennoblement of legal scholars Franciszek Barss and Tomasz Czech, whose impressive credentials have caught the Congress' attention. Their proposed nobilitation, backed unanimously by the congressional Houses, was read by Secretary Jan Łuszczewski.

Representatives like Ignacy Zakrzewski from Poznań voiced concerns about setting a precedent for ennoblement that could see a surge in similar motions. Similarly, Jan Zieliński from Zakroczym concurred by stating the importance of discerning between individual merits and noble lineage.

Paweł Grabowski from Wołkowysk argued in favor of completing the ennoblement of Barss and Czech as previously agreed upon by the Congress.

The Lithuanian-Belarusian Speaker Prince Kazimierz Sapieha lamented the small number of attending congressmen, yet stressed the collective responsibility to fulfill passed resolutions. He lauded the civic duty demonstrated by contributors to past judicial proceedings.

Amid these discussions, President Stanisław August Poniatowski conveyed his support for ennobling Barss and Czech, drawing attention to their academic achievements. He also endorsed the candidacy of de Verni, a foreign nobleman with decades of meritorious service within the Union.

As further complicating considerations mounted with the inclusion of dozens more candidates for ennoblement, the Speaker insisted on resolving the decision on Barss and Czech first.

The day's engagements delved into the contentious matter of naming new Cabinet members, with calls for assigning roles like the Secretary of the Treasury and various undersecretary positions. There was a special emphasis on the need for Cabinet appointments in light of the recent disbandment of certain ministerial positions in anticipation of the forthcoming governmental reforms.

Following significant debate, the Congress achieved a unanimous decision on ennobling Barss and Czech. However, the surge of additional ennoblement proposals together with the Cabinet appointment discussions revealed the intricate balances of power and merit within the Union.

As the session approached its end, the Speaker suspended further deliberations until the following Monday, scheduling it for in-depth assessments of various Department reports along with Cabinet appointments issues.

In all, today's proceedings echo vibrant democratic engagement, individual achievements versus systematic entitlements, and the continuous adaptation of the Union's governmental structure.
