The session, called to order by Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, Speaker of the Congress, saw a report from Mr. Joachim Chreptowicz, Under Secretary of State for Lithuania-Belarus. He conveyed that the Elector of Saxony had sent his envoy, Count de Leben, to The President and the Houses of Congress with certain propositions. As such, he requested that a meeting be arranged to listen and report these propositions back to the Houses of Congress. The President, after consulting with The Cabinet, appointed Mr. Jacek Małachowski, Secretary of State for Poland-Ukraine and Mr. Joachim Chreptowicz for this task, with Mr. Antoni Dzieduszycki, State Writer for Lithuania-Belarus, to record the conference proceedings.

Representative Tomasz Wawrzecki from Brasław noted the urgency of adopting the re-examined and amended Defensive Expeditions Project presented by the Constitutional Delegation. Mr. Jan Łuszczewski, Congressional Secretary, read the Project aloud, and following debate and some further amendments, it was unanimously passed into law. (This new law can be found in the fourth part of the official publication.)

Representative Jan Zboiński from Dobrzyń, appealing to every honorable citizen's willingness to sacrifice their life and fortune for the defense of their rights and freedoms, pledged a substantial donation of forty thousand Polish gold coins for the needs of The Union. He presented a project to secure this sum on his estates, which was read and unanimously adopted by the Congress.

Mr. Stanisław Potocki, Representative from Lublin, reported that Prince Józef Lubomirski, a Senator and Castellan of Kyiv, donated four six-pounder cannons to The Union. This generous offer was also presented in a project and unanimously accepted.

Representative Michał Bernowicz from Nowogródek, expressed that while The Union has mandated the raising of certain sums both domestically and abroad, a sum of 1.4 million, which will be collected from the civil-military commissions at a rate of one gold piece per household, can be used by the Treasury Commission. He assured that this sum would be reimbursed to the commissions from the royal funds and presented this project. The project was read by the Congressional Secretary and unanimously converted into law.
