a district in Switzerland, has three cities, Baden, Keifers Stoul, and Klingnau, besides a town that passes for a city, named Zürzach. It is one of the finest countries in Switzerland; and is watered with three navigable rivers, the Limmet, Russ, and Are. The land is fertile in corn and fruit, and there are places on the sides of the Limmet which produce wine. It maintains a communication between the cantons of Zurich and Berne, being seated between their north extremities. It extends on one side to the Are, as far as the place where it falls into the Rhine, and on the other side beyond the Rhine, where there are some villages which depend thereon. Most of the inhabitants are Papists. By the treaty of peace at the conclusion of the war which broke out in 1712 between the Protestant and Popish cantons, this country was yielded to the Protestant cantons of Zurich and Bern. The constitution of 1798 restored it for a time to its original independence; but on the reorganization of the cantons by Bonaparte in 1803, it was united to that of Argau. It contained at that time 46,381 inhabitants.

the capital of the above district, is an agreeable city, moderately large, seated on the side of the Limmet, in a plain flanked by two high hills, between which the river runs. This city owes its rise to its baths, which were famous before the Christian era. Several monuments of antiquity have been found here from time to time, particularly in 1240. When they were opening the large spring of the baths, they found statues of several heathen gods, made of alabaster; Roman coins, made of bronze, of Augustus, Vespasian, Decius, &c.; and several medals of the Roman emperors, of gold, silver, copper, and bronze. There are two churches in Baden; one of which is collegiate, and makes a good appearance; the other is a monastery of the Capuchins, near the townhouse. This last building served formerly not only for the assemblies of their own council, but also for those of the cantons. The diet assembled in a handsome room made for that purpose; the deputies of Zurich sat at the bottom behind a table, as the most honourable place; the ambassadors of foreign powers were seated on one side to the right, and the deputies of the other cantons were ranged on each side the room. The bailiff of Baden resides in a castle at the end of a handsome wooden bridge, which is covered in. Before this castle there is a stone pillar, erected in honour of the emperor Trajan, who paved a road in this country 85 Italian miles in length. The inhabitants are rigid Roman Catholics, and formerly behaved in a most insolent manner to the Protestants, but they are now obliged by their masters to be more BADEN-WEILLER, a town of Germany, belonging to the lower margravate of Baden.
