The Four-Year Sejm (diet) was held from October 6th, 1788 to May 29th, 1792 and resulted in significant changes in the composition of parliament, both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. To 177 members elected by the regional diets in August 1788 joined 182 new members elected by regional diets in November 1790. Finally, there were 359 deputies. But such number of deputies never worked together because at the time of a single deliberations several members of parliament died, and other were promoted to the senate. In total, during the sessions of the Four-Year Sejm died at least 10 members (8 of the first term and second term of The Sejm), and 15 members (14 first term of the Sejm, including deputy of Bielsko J. K. Ossolinski, whose nomination has been not thoroughly explained, and one during second term of the Sejm) were promoted to the senate. Major changes also occurred in the composition of the senate. During the sessions of the Sejm 38 senator’s seats became vacant. 22 senators died, thus 23 senatorial offices became vacant (two ministries, two bishoprics, 8 provinces (voivodeship) and 11 castellanies). 14 senators resigned from offices (a minister, four voivodes and 9 castellans). A sentence of the Sejm court deprived Grand Treasurer of the Crown of the office. Uniate Metropolitan entered Senate but the resolution of Sejm deprived Field Crown Hetman of the office thereby abolishing offices of the field Hetman. During the Four-Year-Sejm King Stanislaw August nominated 57 senators, including 16 people who were promoted within the Senate. Not all senators joined the confederation. It was joined by 148 senators (including 15 senators who were promoted from among Sejm deputies and accession to the Confederation did as deputies) of a total of 191. Total number of persons entitled to join the Confederacy, including king Stanislaw August Poniatowski was 536 (assuming that Mr Ossoliński, deputy of Bielsko and Castellan of Podlasie Ossoliński is one person). 493 people took advantage of this right: Stanislaw August Poniatowski, all deputies and about 77% of senators.

Proces biskupa (późniejszego prymasa Królestwa Polskiego) Wojciecha Skarszewskiego przed Sądem Kryminalnym Wojskowym był jedną z najgłośniejszych spraw sądowych podczas powstania kościuszkowskiego. Sprawa ta do dziś wzbudza zainteresowanie. W celu jej przybliżenia opublikowano dwa protokoły z przesłuchań biskupa, przeprowadzone przez Deputację Indagacyjną (w dniach 1–4 IX 1794) i przez Sąd Kryminalny Wojskowy (10 IX 1794). Rękopisy tych przesłuchań są przechowywane w Archiwum Głównym Akt Dawnych w Warszawie w zbiorze Archiwum Królestwa Polskiego (sygn. 251). Materiały te są fragmentem zachowanych szczątkowo archiwaliów z Sądu Kryminalnego Wojskowego.

The article provides information on records of the Investigative Deputation, preserved in Central Archive of Historical Records (AGAD) in Warsaw. The Deputation was created on 28th April 1794, during the Kościuszko Uprising, by Provisional Council of the Duchy of Masovia. It remained active until the end of the Uprising (1st November 1794). Its organizational structure and competences have changed a number of times. The most important task of the Investigative Deputation was conducting preliminary interrogations of detained persons, and then transferring the records of interrogation, with opinion attached, to supreme authorities of the Uprising. Records of the Investigative Deputation are preserved in AGAD in two archival collections: Lithuanian Metrica (section VII, sign. ref. 175–197) and in the Archive of the Kingdom of Poland (sign.ref. 250–251, 254–256). Detailed list of the archival materials is attached to the article.

Artykuł zawiera informacje o przechowywanych w Archiwum Głównym Akt Dawnych w Warszawie aktach Deputacji Indagacyjnej. Została ona powołana 28 IV 1794 r. podczas powstania kościuszkowskiego przez Radę Zastępczą Tymczasową. Działała do końca insurekcji (1 XI 1794). Jej organizacja i kompetencje kilkakrotnie się zmieniały. Najważniejszym zadaniem Deputacji Indagacyjnej było przeprowadzanie wstępne przesłuchiwań osób aresztowanych, a następnie odsyłanie akt przesłuchań, wraz z dołączoną do nich opinią, do władz zwierzchnich powstania. W AGAD materiały pozostałe po Deputacji Indagacyjnej przechowywane są w dwu zbiorach archiwalnych: Tzw. Metryce Litewskiej (dział VII, sygn. 175–197) i w Archiwum Królestwa Polskiego (sygn. 250–251, 254–256). Szczegóły spis tych materiałów dołączono do tekstu.

Since the first partition of Poland, whereby Prussia received Warmia and province of Malbork (without the cities of Gdańsk and Toruń), one of the major objective of Prussian foreign policy was striving for the so-called rounding boundaries by incorporating the cities of Gdańsk and Toruń as well as parts of the Greater Poland (Wielkopolska). During the proceedings of the Four-Year Sejm (6th October 1788 – 29th May 1792), these goals were being tried to reach in whole or in part by assignment. In historiography this problem was a subject of many studies. In none of them, however, were used records from the archive of the Greate (Four – Year) Sejm that is an extremely valuable source to this subject. The records are stored at the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw. These are materials of the Chancellery of the Four-Year Sejm in 25 volumes. The most important among them is a handwritten parliament’s diary, which contains the minutes of the sessions closed to the public, during which was discussed and determined the foreign policy of the state. Frequently the topics discussed at those sessions were the Polish-Prussian diplomatic relations and problem of Gdańsk and Toruń. In parliament this issue was discussed since mid-March 1790 up to the beginning of April 1791. At that time, the Polish foreign policy was governed by Deputation of Foreign Interest but binding decisions were taken by the parliament. In this paper, based on the handwritten diary, author presents those sessions, in which were discussed issues of possible assignment of Gdańsk and Toruń cities to Prussia. The article presents the most important participants of the debates, their arguments and decisions. Moreover, it pictures the atmosphere of the proceedings and the changing political sympathies in relation to Prussia.

Excerpt from the diplomatic correspondence of the Polish mission in Madrid is one of more than a dozen of this type of manuscripts preserved at the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw. There are two main reasons why this record was selected to the publication. Firstly, it contains a summary of diplomatic correspondence with Spain, the most distant country with that Poland resumed diplomatic relations in the years 1791-1794 and the country extremely exotic to Poles of that time. Secondly, the original reports did not survive. The excerpt was drawn up in the office of the Lithuanian Deputy Chancellor Joachim Chreptowicz, Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Council of Inspection (government). It contains extracts of correspondence from the initial, the most interesting period of the activity of the Polish embassy in Madrid, when Poland led an independent foreign policy and mattered in the diplomatic game as an independent player. Excerpt is divided into two parts. The first one includes correspondence of the envoy Tadeusz Morski, and the second one contains correspondence of his successor, chargé d’affaires, Kajetan Zbyszewski. Extracts from the correspondence of Tadeusz Morski cover period from April 11th, 1791 to September 22nd, 1791, shortly before Morski’s departure from Madrid. Zbyszewski’s correspondence comes from the period from 26th September 1791 to 6th August 1792. Most drafts of reports by Zbyszewski, that are summarized in the published excerpts, are located at the Ossoliński National Institute in Wrocław, among the records of the Polish embassy in Madrid (Mss. 487 and 923).
