Fifteen new PN have been discovered in the region of Baade's Windows using an objective prism technique. Absolute spectrophotometry, excitation classes, radii and radial velocities have been obtained. Radial velocities were also measured for eight other PN in this region. After correction for solar motion and the circular velocity at the sun, the radial velocities of bulge PN (Vc) with |b| < 5°.5 show good evidence for a rotation of the bulge. If Vc=α + βΔℓ then,
