It is definitely "Flügel Grenadier Compagnie". The second "l" is a spelling mistake.
Some interesting links are
Militairy and phaleristic history of the Kurfürstentum Hessen, especially Flügel-Grenadier-Compagnien
Update:
The first line is
Maass und Rangier Rolle
See here.

3Was German spelling sufficiently standardised in 1786 for this to be considered a spelling mistake rather than a variant spelling? Jun 5 at 11:39

2@JackAidley Certainly it was not as much standardised as today, but there is no indication that the spelling "Flügell" would have been in use about the year 1800. See here for examples taken from German literature. Jun 5 at 17:09
I would say the incomplete word means
Flügel
See Wikipedia, but I can't recognize the reason for the second L.
