ENOn 27 September 1735 in Warsaw, the Pacification Sejm convened by King Augustus III began its proceedings. The sessions were to last until 8 October 1735. The Sejm’s primary purpose was to end war hostilities and to lead the intervention troops out of the Commonwealth. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania was represented by 48 deputies elected at pre-Sejm sejmiks held in August. Their election was confirmed by the fact that all the sejmiks were held and concluded. It is worth noting that most of the deputies were from the middle nobility, oft en associated with specific magnate factions. While serving them, the noblemen also sought to maximise their own benefits and interests. Ten deputies had already performed parliamentary functions at the Convocation Sejm, and twenty-four took part in the Election Sejm. About fourteen Lithuanian deputies were to speak during the proceedings of the Pacification Sejm, 31 times in total. Therefore, it should be assumed that about thirty deputies were already associated with the Saxon camp with a high degree of probability. This number could have been even greater because the resolutions of the pro-Augustus confederation council convened on 9 November 1735 after the would-be Sejm were to be signed by as many as forty-four deputies. One wonders, however, about the credibility of those signatures, made under threat and fear of reprisals from Saxon supporters. However, it is worth noting that the deputies in favour of a quick election of the Sejm Marshal were usually supporters of the Saxon. The opponents supported King Stanisław Leszczyński, who demanded that Russian troops be withdrawn before the Marshal would be chosen. In this situation, the Sejm was broken, to which the Lithuanian deputies also contributed. [From the publication]
