The Groth-Westphal Strip is a region where 28 contiguous images were taken through V and I filters with WFPC2 on HST and these data formed the backbone of the HST Medium Deep Survey, so galaxy morphological information is available to V = 24. This region also overlaps the Canada-France-Hawaii-Redshift Survey and other ground-based imaging and spectroscopic programs. Exposures have been taken of this field with XMM-Newton for a useful total integration time of 100 ks. We present the X-ray spectra of faint sources identified with AGN of Types I and II, LINERs, starburst and normal galaxies. Individual and summed X-ray spectra are presented for these classes of X-ray emitter. For the faintest sources, X-ray hardness ratios are used in order to separate the contributions of these galaxies to the X-ray Background in broad energy bands: 0.5-2 keV, 2-5 keV and 5-10 keV. The changing composition of the XRB is demonstrated as we go from the lowest to the highest energy band.
