Following the adjournment of the session led by Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, the Speaker for the Polish-Ukrainian Confederation, Mr. Ignacy Potocki, the Secretary of State for Lithuania-Belarus took the floor. He declared that, by the order of His Excellency the President, he is submitting two proposals for the Houses of Congress to decide upon. These proposals pertain to national defense and providing for the needs of commanding generals, other officers, and soldiers. The proposals were then submitted for review.

The legislative clerk Mr. Jan Łuszczewski read the first proposal regarding the recruitment of two Tatar regiments, two Cossack regiments, and four battalions of volunteers, along with specified salaries. This proposal was unanimously agreed upon without delay. The second proposal was then read, regarding the equipping of the troops (both equipment and additional necessities) in a manner practiced in foreign countries, as indicated in a prepared table. After some observations and discussions on the proposal and the table, a unanimous consent was reached to adopt both the proposal and the table.

Prince Adam Czartoryski, Representative from Lublin, in his address, proposed that gratitude be expressed on behalf of all the States to the Honorable Delegates who were sent from the states for reconciliation with both His Excellency the President and the Congress. Upon the presentation of his draft, the proposal was unanimously accepted. Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, the Speaker for the Lithuanian-Belarussian Confederation, suggested that individuals be appointed to assess the military needs as presented by the deputies. With consent agreed upon, Mr. Stanisław Małachowski, the Congressional Speaker, nominated individuals for this task: from East Poland-Ukraine Mr. Stanisław Sołtyk, Representative from Krakow; from West Poland Mr. Onufry Kicki, Representative from Zakroczym; and from Lithuania-Belarus Mr. Tomasz Wawrzecki, Representative from Brasław.

Establishment of Two Tatar Regiments, Two Cossack Regiments, and Four Battalions of Volunteers

Hey there, fellow history buffs! Here's the latest from the parliamentary halls: The Union has decided to pump some fresh blood into our military forces—it's like a historical throwback with a modern twist. Our predecessors knew the valor of the Tatar nation and The President is now calling on them to set up two new Tatar regiments, each consisting of 500 horsemen. These folks will get a nice paycheck, complete with a one-time gear-up bonus from the national treasury.

Not stopping there, the Congress has also greenlit the creation of two Cossack regiments, each with 1000 horsemen, plus the necessary officers and regional leaders. These guys are getting a sweet deal with a fixed salary and a recruitment incentive wallet-booster—sounds like a career opportunity if you ask me.

Last but not least, we're talking about four battalions of volunteers. Think all-inclusive package: salary, full gear, and initial costs covered. Recruitment's gonna be all about making sure our would-be soldiers have got the job security they need. All in all, this new legislation isn't just about bulking up our forces—it's about tapping into the rich tradition of loyalty and courage that's been part of this land's history. Stay tuned for how this all plays out!

Provisioning of Commanding Generals and Granting Them Authority to Confirm Military and State Court Verdicts

In a striking move to provision every soldier adequately and bolster military discipline, Congress has legislated: provisions previously prescribed for officers by regulation and funds for the dining expenses of generals commanding separate corps shall be issued and paid according to the following schedule. In cases of dire necessity, lieutenant generals forming three separate corps will be granted two thousand red golds for their initial equipment expenses from the nine million fund designated for common defense. In addition, during the ongoing defense operations in the country, commanding generals are empowered to confirm verdicts from military and state courts within the cavalry alongside deputies, and within the infantry and artillery in association with non-commissioned officers and master gunners, beginning with privates and common soldiers. This entire arrangement, being temporary, shall not obstruct any plans or decisions regarding the military establishment, according to the will of the Houses of Congress.

Topics: establishment of rations and portions for officers; funds for generals' table expenses; allocation of funds for equipping; confirmation of field and estate courts by generals; country defense; military organization; military discipline; Sejm resolutions regarding the military;

Rations for Bread and Forage for Mounted, Pack, and Carriage Horses, as Designated by the Regulations of Camp Service

Hey folks! Got news from The Union's Congress—this time on keeping our military chow lines humming and horses munching. Today's update includes specifics for how much bread and forage (think horse chow) various military ranks get, all the way from the big guns to the grunts. If you carry a sword or a spade, or command those who do, there's a designated daily portion for you and your trusty steed.

The top brass like the commanding general of the main corps gets a hefty 24 portions of bread and 40 of forage. But it's not just about the officers; everyone from cavalry captains to medics gets their slice of the logistical loaf. And there's a special line on the budget too—the commanding general gets a solid 36,000 gold pieces for his campaign expenses.

Don't think this is set in stone, though! The Congress makes it clear: this arrangement's temporary until they finalize the army's structure, which will be decided by both Houses at The Union's Congress.

Stay informed, folks—knowing how we provision our troops tells us a lot about our priorities and readiness to face whatever comes our way.
