We present here the XMM-Newton Bright Serendipitous Survey, composed of two flux-limited samples: the XMM-Newton Bright Source Sample (BSS, hereafter) and the XMM-Newton "Hard" Bright Source Sample (HBSS, hereafter). The selection criteria for these two sample, 0.5 - 4.5 keV count rate >= 0.01 ct/s (BSS) and 4.5 - 7.5 keV count rate >= 0.002 ct/s (HBSS), correspond to a flux limit of f<sub>X</sub> ~ 7 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the 0.5 - 4.5 keV and 4.5 - 7.5 keV energy bands, respectively, for sources with power-law spectra with energy spectral indices between 0.7 and 0.8. This table contains the basic data on a complete sample of 400 X-ray sources (389 of them belong to the BSS, 67 to the HBSS, with 56 X-ray sources in common) derived from the analysis of 237 suitable XMM-Newton fields (211 for the HBSS). At the flux limit of the survey, it covers a survey area of 28.10 (25.17 for the HBSS) square degrees. The extragalactic number-flux relationships (in the 0.5 - 4.5 keV and in the 4.5 - 7.5 keV energy bands) are in good agreement with previous and new results making the authors confident in the correctness of the data selection and their analysis. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2006 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/428/383">CDS Catalog J/A+A/428/383</a> (the merger of files table3.dat and table4.dat).
