How to plot scatterplot of a variable in a dataframe with all other variables in a single plot using R?

I tried using ggpairs in GGally to plot scatterplots. But it plots each variable With all other variables. I want to plot scatterplot of a particular variable against all other variables in dataframe with correlation value of each scatterplot displayed. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

The answer is really one google search away, but here goes.

library(ggplot2)
library(grid)

# google search: "multiplot ggplot2"
# http://www.cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Multiple_graphs_on_one_page_(ggplot2)/
multiplot <- function(..., plotlist=NULL, file, cols=1, layout=NULL) {


    # Make a list from the ... arguments and plotlist
    plots <- c(list(...), plotlist)

    numPlots = length(plots)

    # If layout is NULL, then use 'cols' to determine layout
    if (is.null(layout)) {
        # Make the panel
        # ncol: Number of columns of plots
        # nrow: Number of rows needed, calculated from # of cols
        layout <- matrix(seq(1, cols * ceiling(numPlots/cols)),
                         ncol = cols, nrow = ceiling(numPlots/cols))
    }

    if (numPlots==1) {
        print(plots[[1]])

    } else {
        # Set up the page
        grid.newpage()
        pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(nrow(layout), ncol(layout))))

        # Make each plot, in the correct location
        for (i in 1:numPlots) {
            # Get the i,j matrix positions of the regions that contain this subplot
            matchidx <- as.data.frame(which(layout == i, arr.ind = TRUE))

            print(plots[[i]], vp = viewport(layout.pos.row = matchidx$row,
                                            layout.pos.col = matchidx$col))
        }
    }
}

# some dummy data
x <- as.data.frame(matrix(rnorm(100), 10, 10))

# plot the first variable against all others
plotList <- list()
for (i in 1:9) {
    plotList[[i]] <- ggplot(data = x, aes_(x = x[, 1], y = x[, i+1])) + geom_point() + xlab("x") + ylab("y")
}

# actually draw the multiplot
multiplot(plotlist = plotList, cols = 3)
