Abel Boyer writes another version, in 1771 (Editor: J. C. Prieur) in which the definition for "Naturel, le", includes "natural" and "native" as well. Found here.

More proof the founders/framers would have easily "interchanged" native and natural:

The new royal and universal English dictionary ...: To which is prefixed, a grammar of the English language, Volume 2

Point being, as bushpilot1, RedSteel and other's have shown, the time frame from around Vattel's early editions and the framing of the Constitution...there were MANY resources which used the definitions of Natural and Native (and the French Naturel) interchangeably.
