Today in Congress, Speaker Stanisław Małachowski opened the session by introducing a constitutional proposal. This document, crafted in response to previously expressed requests, was read by Secretary of the Congress Jan Łuszczewski. More proposals were considered from the Representatives, all agreeing unanimously to adopt the draft. The law, now officially enacted, asserts that the general welfare of Poland-Ukraine and Lithuania-Belarus is intertwined with every citizen's concern for the country's prosperity.

The new legislation mandates a shared responsibility for national defense amongst all residents of the Union in the event of foreign military incursions, providing collective reparations for any damages, such as the devastation of properties through the burning of towns or displacement of locals. After concluding the war, a special commission will be established at the next Congressional session to ensure fair compensation.

Furthermore, to distinguish between exemplary citizens and those of concern, new penalties have been laid down: any Pole found guilty of public offenses or acting against the law titled 'Declaration Regarding Manifestos' will face legal punishment, and their assets will be sequestered by the Public Treasury until their death.

In further proceedings, Representative Tomasz Wawrzecki from Brasław State argued for heightened readiness in national defense and presented a detailed plan titled 'Defensive Expeditions.' After being read by Secretary Łuszczewski, the project was considered for discussion.

To conclude today's legislative festivities, Senator Castellan Ignacy Daszkiewicz from Mścisław County (following the gracious resignation of Senator Józef Chrapowicki), expressed his gratitude to the President for upholding his senatorial seat and approached to pay his respects.

The session was adjourned and will resume on Monday, May 14th.

Clarification of the Mortgage for the Loan of Thirty Million Polish Zlotys and Assuring the Reliability of Both Interest and Capital Payments

In a decisive move by the Congress, we're talking financial game-changer. The Union—yep, that's Poland-Ukraine and Lithuania-Belarus together—has greenlit a mortgage for a loan up to a whopping thirty million Polish zlotys. Looks like they're backing it with the revenue from sales of certain government estates. President's in on it, making sure it's all as secure as Fort Knox.

The deal is, this financial magic trick is supposed to pump up confidence in the lenders, convincing them that both the interest and the capital are as safe as houses. Congress pretty much pinky-promised that before anything else gets paid, those funds and incomes—whether it's from those estates' sales or future incomes from 'em—are dedicated to paying back the debt.

Bottom line? The Union's pulling all stops to make sure that their word is their bond, pledging the full value of those mega assets, while the Cabinet is being told to make good on the promises, interest, and principal—stat. And they're tying this guarantee to the Union's overall revenues because that's how you show creditors you're not kidding around.
