cor.test is what you need (according to your statement).
The Pearson correlation is the default coefficient.

Example:

  u<-rnorm(10);v<-rnorm(10);X<-u+v;Y<-v;
  cor.test(X,Y)

          Pearson's product-moment correlation

  data:  X and Y 
  t = 2.9483, df = 8, p-value = 0.01847
  alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0 
  95 percent confidence interval:
   0.1686027 0.9291072 
  sample estimates:
        cor 
  0.7216238 

enter

  ?cor.test

for details of the various different ways of using this function.

Hoping this helps,
Ted.
