Conference at Lublin on Polish confederacy fate and armistice
The Bishop of Cajavia arrived as commissioner to urge reconciliation with the Confederacy of Dzikow. He spoke of union under one head as the cure for Poland's ills while powers abroad were wary. Deputies demanded consent of King Stanislaus for any armistice, threatening to retire with troops if denied. The union split, army orders issued, and three-column march prepared toward Prussia.
