So I am doing this:

x <- read.csv("C:\\data_25_1000.txt",header=F,row.names=NULL)
p1 <- princomp(x, cor = TRUE)  ## using correlation matrix
p1
Call:
princomp(x = x, cor = TRUE)

    Standard deviations:

     25  variables and  1000 observations. 

For the second method suppose I have the correlation matrix of “C:\data_25_1000.txt”
which is:

I have also computed svd of this correlation matrix and got:

> s = svd(Correlation_25_1000)
$d
 [1] 3.9205298 3.3567729 2.0014799 1.7018614 1.4438704 1.3708223 1.3051053 1.0271475 1.0090840 0.8242341 0.7127256 0.6549736 0.6364299 0.5870503 0.5433123 0.5006188 0.4916060
[18] 0.4595726 0.4451043 0.4105769 0.3693401 0.3326079 0.3202462 0.3054243 0.2695037

$u

matrix

$v

matrix

My question is, how can I use $d, $u and $v to get principal components
Could I use prcomp() ?? If, so how?

    Try this one

    princomp

    princomp(USArrests, cor = TRUE)$loadings
    Loadings:
             Comp.1 Comp.2 Comp.3 Comp.4
    Murder   -0.536  0.418 -0.341  0.649
    Assault  -0.583  0.188 -0.268 -0.743
    UrbanPop -0.278 -0.873 -0.378  0.134
    Rape     -0.543 -0.167  0.818       
    

    svd

    svd(cor(USArrests))$u
           [,1]       [,2]       [,3]        [,4]
    [1,] -0.5358995  0.4181809 -0.3412327  0.64922780
    [2,] -0.5831836  0.1879856 -0.2681484 -0.74340748
    [3,] -0.2781909 -0.8728062 -0.3780158  0.13387773
    [4,] -0.5434321 -0.1673186  0.8177779  0.08902432
    

    eigen

    eigen(cor(USArrests))$vectors
              [,1]       [,2]       [,3]        [,4]
    [1,] -0.5358995  0.4181809 -0.3412327  0.64922780
    [2,] -0.5831836  0.1879856 -0.2681484 -0.74340748
    [3,] -0.2781909 -0.8728062 -0.3780158  0.13387773
    [4,] -0.5434321 -0.1673186  0.8177779  0.08902432
    

    For cor matrix, all princomp, svd, and eigen produces same results.
