The detection of the orbital period of 
is reported for the new
Intermediate Polar 1 WGA J1958.2+3232. The orbital period was derived from
time-resolved photometric and spectral observations. We also
confirmed the 733 s spin period of the White Dwarf consistent with
the X-ray pulsations and were able to distinguish the beat period in
the light curve. Strong modulations with orbital period are detected
in the emission lines from spectral observations. They show
the presence of a bright hot spot on the edge of the accretion disk.
The parameters of this recently discovered Intermediate Polar are
determined.
