Speaker of the Congress Mr. Stanisław Małachowski stressed the importance of completing ongoing affairs, especially those concerning the public budget which affects everyone directly. The Budgetary Committee provided significant insights after a detailed review, he noted, cutting his speech short to give way for further reporting by the delegation.

Senator and Castellan from Kamianets-Podilskyi, Mr. Onufry Morski, resumed his report on the fiscal state, covering topics such as tobacco, salt, the Royal Lottery, the Mint, and trade. Representative Mr. Michał Czacki was mentioned as the figure who will present a detailed analysis concerning these subjects after Treasury Secretary's clerk Mr. Franciszek Andrychiewicz concludes the reading.

The session quickly turned into a lively exchange on various matters regarding Poland-Ukraine's commercial policies, the welfare of state-owned factories, and reports on the potential of salt mining in different regions.

Furthermore, reliable trade routes which might include river navigation were discussed, citing the constructive negotiations in Istanbul that could lead to hopeful commerce with Turkey – all of which hinge upon strategic decisions by The Union and its President, Mr. Stanisław August Poniatowski, to ensure optimal outcomes.

The session featured calls to provide reports detailing the current struggles and advancements of internal and external trade, with particular concern for protectionist tendencies causing trade blockades, the imposition of various tariffs on exports, and negotiative hurdles with neighboring nations.

Some industry-specific discussions occurred, including commentary from Senator and Castellan from Kamianets-Podilskyi, Mr. Onufry Morski, advocating for the support of domestic factories and requesting careful attention to a proposal regarding this matter.

The conversation took a turn focusing on improvement within the Treasury Commission to enhance efficiency, reaffirming the commitment towards only advancing competent officials rather than making nepotistic appointments.

Lastly, two noteworthy proposals were considered before the session concluded — the first concerning the Treasury Commission's operating hours and member responsibilities and the second on river navigation, which aimed to revisit and activate ancient laws for contemporary utility. Both received deliberations, outlining potential plans to develop the internal infrastructure for trade.

As the day’s discussions and debates drew to a close, the session was rightly adjourned, setting the stage for the continuation of these vital matters on Monday.

Keep an eye on Monday's session for more updates on the Congress proceedings, as The Union navigates through these challenging yet progressive times!
