Per documentation you can't create event inside procedure body. See this post Create an event inside a procedure - SQL.

You will have to create the procedure first and then call it from event like below

DELIMITER $$

CREATE DEFINER=`MailMe`@`%` PROCEDURE `sp_archivev3`()
BEGIN

INSERT INTO 
     send.sgev3_archive(a_bi,
                        b_vc,
                        c_int,
                        d_int,
                        e_vc,

<Rest of the code goes here>

Then create event calling the procedure

DELIMITER $$  
CREATE EVENT archivescheduler
ON SCHEDULE EVERY 10 SECOND
DO BEGIN
    CALL `sp_archivev3`();
END $$
DELIMITER ;

Another Pointer: In case your stored procedure don't fire from event; you may need to check whether GLOBAL EVENT SCHEDULER is in DISABLE state. You can turn it on using below setting

SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON;
