In today's session of The Union Congress, the esteemed Speaker of the House, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, presided over discussions in the absence of President Washington. The Representatives delved into matters concerning the ennoblement of esteemed citizens who have contributed significantly to the welfare of the nation.

Mr. Walerian Strojnowski, Representative from the Volhynia region of Polish-Ukrainian territories, passionately urged that the ennoblement of individuals such as Kasperski, recommended by the Polish-Ukrainian Minister of the Interior, Mr. Michał Mniszech, and others should be decided without delay due to their invaluable contributions.

The famed Prince Adam Czartoryski, representing Lublin and an esteemed army general, highlighted the significant financial support provided to the military by Piotr Tepper and his relatives, Schultz and Arndt, as well as bankers Fryderyk Kabrytt and Piotr Blank. Their critical financial assistance and substantial credit abroad make a strong case for their recognition.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ludwik Gutakowski, Representative from Orsha region of Lithuanian-Belarusian territories, reiterated the necessity to finalise the ennoblement process for individuals like Franciszek Barss and Tomasz Czech, who were previously discussed. He pushed for their exemption from stamp tax as a gesture of gratitude for their services to the nation.

Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, Speaker for the Lithuanian-Belarusian House, and Mr. Franciszek Kwilecki from Poznań, both argued for the merits of ennobling outstanding citizens without the customary financial burden, a motion that garnered widespread support.

Following the discussion on ennoblement, Mr. Ignacy Zakrzewski, of Poznań, voiced his concern over legislating on such delicate matters with only a small number of Representatives present. He stressed the importance of deferring significant legislations until a full assembly could be achieved, to avoid public discontent with Congress' actions.

The session was then adjourned to the following day at 10 am, and it was agreed that future discussions should involve a comprehensive list, categorized by profession, to organize the ennoblement process more effectively.

As the session concluded, some Representatives, like Mr. Jan Suchorzewski of Kalisz, called for a recess to allow more colleagues to participate in the critical upcoming decisions on legislation and governance.
