They just found out Faulon faked his death and funeral, and caught him, and was now in prison. Then they revolted against him and killed him. They hung him once and the rope broke, they hung him again and the rope broke, they hung him a third time and that time he died. He must not have been meant to die because it took so many tries, also he had a ray of sunshine on him, which showed hope, but didn't end up that way. What is the Vengeance?
The chapter Fire Rises introduces us to how much of a disaster they are in right now. The revolutioners revolted and burned a chateau. The people just watched and one man wanted to put it out and collect the valuables but everyone else refused and simply said "It must burn." I also believe he repeats East, West, North and South because it illustrates that this sort of thing is happening all around them.
Three years later, August 1792, Darnay and Lorry are talking about going to France. Mr. Lorry is going to France and taking Jerry Cruncher with him. There was a letter to Darnay, except it was addressed to his real name that no one knows except Dr. Manette. No one knew the person that the letter was addressed to so Darnay took the letter because he told Mr. Lorry he knew the man. He said he was "going to deliver it" and read it when he got in private and it was a letter from Gabelle pleading for help. Darnay decided to go to France to take his position on by helping Gabelle.
Darnay is trying to get to Paris, but is stopped numerous times. Then the one night he fell asleep, some people awoke and him and he got an escort and left for Paris once more. He arrives in Beauvais and everyone thinks he is an emigrant. Now Darnay is in jail. Don't they know he is their king? Doesn't he make remarks of being their king? His cell reminds me of Dr. Manette's cell.
Mr. Lorry is visited by Dr. Manette and Lucie and they told him that Darnay went to Paris and is now in prison. Mr. Lorry explains to Dr. Manette that they are sharpening their weapons outside the bank to kill the prisoners with. Dr. Manette thinks he is powerful enough and well known that he goes outside and makes himself known so that everyone was on his side, and they all left together to get Darnay out of La Force prison.

Yes, I believe they do know that Darnay is their Marquis, or King, which is why they put him in jail; they are all revolting against the royalty. I think his cell is suppose to remind us of Dr. Manette's cell, I think it will eventually come full circle somehow.
I agree with you, that the East West North South comment means the revolution is circling them and happing all throughout France.
