While President was absent from the session, Speaker Stanisław Małachowski initiated today’s meeting in the Senate by addressing the diligent examination and reporting provided by the Treasury Commission of Poland-Ukraine on a range of issues including the economy, trade barriers, and complaints made by several citizens. The commissions have been asked to provide their opinions on these grievances. To avoid any delay, it was decided that a similar assessment conducted by the Lithuanian-Belarussian Treasury Commission, which is prepared to report today, would be presented to Congress.

Under Secretary of State for Lithuania-Belarus, Antoni Dziekoński, asserted that the Lithuanian-Belarussian Treasury Commission has justified every step of its administration, stressing that any shortcomings were due to fiscal deficiencies, not mismanagement.

Senator Jacek Jezierski expressed concerns that while other countries have flourished through good governance and the establishment of factories, the Union has lagged due to neglecting these critical areas. He argued for better use of domestic resources and reiterated the need for establishing national factories and a bank for economic advancement.

Speaker Małachowski acknowledged the significance of Jezierski’s project on factories and banks and promised to address it in due time. Nevertheless, the focus of today's session was the report from the Lithuanian-Belarussian Treasury Commission.

Representative Ignacy Krzucki recommended that the establishment of national factories and a National Bank should be prioritized only after assessing the Union's revenue, military, and civil expenditures.

After other representatives expressed their views on various economic matters and the necessity for a better managed treasury, the Congress agreed to Małachowski's proposal to assign the latest half-year financial review to the Lithuanian-Belarussian Treasury Commission.

Representative Krzysztof Miaskowski proposed merging the Treasury Commissions of Poland-Ukraine and Lithuania-Belarus for efficiency and unity. The motion was supported by others who advocated for centralizing administration and fiscal policy to strengthen the Union.

During the reading of proposals, including taxes and management of resources like leather and tobacco, a letter from the French King to the Congress was introduced. It conveyed France's continuous interest in the Union's well-being and desire to strengthen the bonds of friendship. The letter was ordered to be published and Małachowski was instructed to respond on behalf of the Congress.

The session ended with a decision to discuss the project on the exchange of leather on the upcoming Monday session set for 10 a.m.
