Does anyone know if there are Almanacs/Hof-Kalendar/Register for Hesse-Kassel from the 1790s on-line? Some place where one could find names of army officers as were published in so many small monarchies of the day.Thanks!

https://www.lagis-hessen.de/en/subjects/gsrec/current/3/sn/hetrina?q=Heusner This is much earlier for the Revolutionary War, but it may have officers who still served in 1790's. I was able to find two of my ancestors who fought in the AWI.
This site is useful for accessing the Staatskalendar etc for many states in the period:
