As Congress wrapped up its session, Speaker Stanisław Małachowski lamented the unfinished business: "It's a significant burden to start construction but not see its completion. Here we stand, building for the future of our Union, completing many parts but leaving others just started. We're approaching the point where, as the law prescribes, we must halt work and won't see its end. The debate rages on whether to conclude this coalition or extend it to finish these projects. Some want to end it, leaving room for a new Congress, while others want to prolong and finish what we've begun. Arguments about legality versus the needs of the Union have consumed many sessions already. In this major matter, sometimes the wisest move is a thoughtful delay. Unable to trust my own perspective, I called upon my distinguished colleagues to aid my weakness, but even intense efforts at my home failed to bring a consensus. Thus, I bring an unresolved proposal to the House."

When Secretary Jan Łuszczewski was called to read, Representative Jan Lipski from Poznań spoke out: "The issue of saving or dooming the Union compels me to speak frankly, without succumbing to bias, the greatest sin for a citizen, let alone a Representative. Often, honesty is used as a guise for the public good, but such hypocrisy is unworthy of us. I will speak my truth without regard for the response. I support the proposal by the Representative from Braslaw for prolonging our session. Dissolving the coalition in these circumstances endangers the Union; neither should we fear that prolonging it appears to violate regional congresses' law, risking public backlash. Our proven record should assure them that it's not ambition but concern for our Union that motivates us to continue our work. I join the cause for extending our session."

Representative Jan Suchorzewski from Kalisz then despaired over the state of the Union: "What a change of fortune! I remember when citizens forgot their duties, sold themselves to foreign powers, accepted chains with submissive reverence, and sown discord. It seemed the Union might perish. But exceptional times evoked national spirit. Now as I see our people fervently contributing to the Treasury, breaking oppressive guarantees, and commanding respect on the world stage, that hopeful view turns painful. This Congress, having reclaimed our glory, seeks to assume permanent rule, a severe transgression. Aren't there capable and willing individuals across our lands? Surely they can undertake and possibly outperform our efforts."

Interior Secretary Michał Mniszech for Poland-Ukraine reported to the House that several Senators had joined the Coalition. He then gave the floor to Senator Aleksander Lubomirski from Kiev.

After expressing his view that Congress can't simply assume powers meant for the people, Senator Lubomirski thanked the President for his Senate seat, despite feeling unworthy of any merits. To serve his country, he offered to donate ten bronze cannons, on condition that they bear the coat of arms of the General who displays exceptional valor in the next battle leading the Polish-Ukrainian troops.

Representative Mateusz Butrymowicz from Pińsk made a comprehensive statement: "Stripping regional congresses of power is tantamount to destroying freedom, but regional congress schedules are not immutable. Our circumstances necessitate continual council. Should the Coalition dissolve, so would Poland-Ukraine. We must extend it and conclude our started initiatives."

Amid various speeches for and against extending Congress and the nuances of inviting new Representatives, the necessity for continuous governance in these critical times was a recurrent theme. Everyone grappled with the challenges of balancing the legal entitlement of the people to have new Representatives elected in local congresses and the pressing needs of the Union.

The session concluded with the President summoning Speaker Małachowski and assuring everyone of his commitment to honor the agreements of the Convention. He noted the project put forth by Representative Tomasz Wawrzecki and edited by Michał Czacki, hoping it would be decisively adopted.

The day closed with deferred decisions, and Speaker Małachowski adjourned, preparing for further debates to resume on Friday, June 11.

Extension of Time for the Correctional Deputation

Okay folks, here's the deal from the halls of Congress: a group tasked with scrutinizing the financial dues and taxes (think of it like the IRS getting down to brass tacks) was supposed to wrap up their audit. But guess what? They hit a snag since they didn't get all the transaction records and guidelines from the tax commissions on time, putting them behind schedule. So, President, along with the United Houses of Congress, gave them a two-month extension to finish the job. Think of it as the government taking a bit more time to ensure they've crossed their T's and dotted their I's on financial reform.

Topics: Extension of the delegation's time; Tax correction; Delegation for the comparison of the tenth groschen's offering; Missing acts from various transactions and regulations of the tax commissions; Royal authority and confederated states;
