As the session was commenced by His Excellency the Speaker of Congress after the arrival of Mister President, the floor was taken by Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, Marshal Counselor of Lithuania-Belarus. He informed the Houses of Congress that reports from Lithuania-Belarus had been received from both the Lithuanian-Belarussian Treasury Commission and various individuals, most notably a report to Prince Karol Radziwiłł, the Senator Governor of Vilnius, sent by the Commander of the Slutsk Garrison, which unquestionably contained notifications of increasing agitation among the peasants to revolt, stirred up by Uniate clergy and Russian Marksmen. Consequently, in Slutsk, the Bishop of Dzivinouts ordered all priests to swear allegiance to the Russian Empress, and Marksmen collected oaths from peasants, swearing not only allegiance to the Russian Empress but also to exterminate the Polish-Ukrainian nobility, encouraging these peasants to arm themselves for this purpose. Moreover, captured Russian Marksmen have been found stirring up the peasantry to rebellion and distributing implements suitable for massacres.

The reports and notifications were read, leading to the recommendation for the Confederation Marshals to make arrangements regarding the prevention of these escalating revolts and to closely monitor the Bishop of Dzivinouts in Slutsk, ensuring he is summoned to provide necessary explanations.

The session then shifted to debates regarding a note submitted by Mister Otto Stackelberg, the Russian Ambassador, requesting permission for Russian commands to pass through our country. While there was unanimous agreement for communication with the Berlin Court on this note, Representatives were divided: some insisted that the Russian Ambassador should be told that there would be no resolution to his note until he responds to the previously submitted note by the Congress regarding the evacuation of Russian troops from our territory; others advised against any response to the Russian Ambassador until a resolution from the Berlin Court was reached on the communicated note.

After much deliberation and various opinions expressed, it was unanimously agreed to forward the Russian Ambassador's note to the Berlin Court, and to inform the Russian Ambassador that the Houses of Congress are suspending their response to his note for the time being, especially since the Ambassador has not yet responded to the previous note from the Congress.

Many Representatives started appealing to Mister President to nominate ambassadors to those courts where nominees had not been appointed. After consulting with his Cabinet, and inclined to make such appointments, Mister President designated the following individuals as ambassadors: to the Swedish Court Jerzy Potocki, the Tlumacki Starost; to the Danish Court Mister Adam Rzewuski, the Lithuanian-Belarusian Standard-Bearer; and to the Saxon Court Mister Jan Małachowski, the Opoczynski Starost.

Following the nomination of ambassadors, the Congress moved on to discuss a draft regarding the method for submitting contracts for the payment of percent tax. After reading the draft and considering a new amendment, as various opinions began to emerge, Mister President, having called his Cabinet, adjourned the congressional session until the coming Thursday, April 25, at ten o'clock.
