if Vattel had written ‘sujects naturels’ instead of ‘naturels’.

He would have written cityons naturels, but sometimes things are just understood in the context of the paragraph. In that case the paragraph/section was talking about Citoyens/Citizens, so that is what the adjective "naturels" had to be modifying (in the grammatical sense, as El Lobo Azul, (meaning the Blue Wolf, with Azul modifying Lobo) . It was certainly not modifying "subjects"/"sujects", which does not appear in the section.
